Wow at first its the color that is striking, but then when I truely comparred them, look at the size difference of most of the colors!! Still acclimating by the way, three weeks of fiberglass screen, first day removing all three layers.

Yo Rob do you have an open top?

 

[Diskusting]

What are the specs on each Light system. Main question is How many bulbs in the T-5, and do they have ind reflectors?

The t5's look great!

Ya guys its an open top! I love looking down.
The PC light was the Coralife 265 watt 4x65 bulb combo with 2 10ks and 2 03 Actinics. Which is now on the 120 with a second fixture identical to it.
The new light is the Aquatinic TX5Ho 5x54 watt with
1 ATI Aquablue Special
2 ATI Blue Plus
1 GI 6500k
1 UVL Super Actinic
They do all have their own individual reflectors.
This light is amazing. When I first put it up with three layers of fiber glass screen I was amazed and more than pleased with the difference in the tank. Then each week the pleasure of removing a layer, it got better and better. It runs so cool temperature wise. The corals seem to love it, the only problem I have seen so far is that up on top of my magracks of frags there is some hair algea poppin up on the zoo frags. Also there seems to be alot of bubbles forming on these frags?
