Added a 5th radion to my tank tonight. Wasn't getting as much par as I was hoping for. Also when the t5s kicked off, there was some slight shadowing. Def fixed my problem with the shadows. Now with the 5 radions, there is zero shadowing. Hopefully I will see some better growth and colors with increased par.

Why the switch to just t5?

Didn't get the results I was hoping for. I know t5s I'll be happy.

What bulb combo did you go with?

6 blue + 1 coral + and 1 purple +

Absolutely. I'll be posting more pics in a few weeks, once corals get used to the new lighting. I think It was a good test, gave the radions plenty of time to test on my tank. I don't plan on making any changes to my tank, so I'll get a good idea how the corals respond to t5s vs radions/t5s

I cut out big sections of the top of my canopy and drilled some holes in the front part. Now my t5s are staying cool and I don't need any fans to keep them cool. If I closed my canopy the fixtures would over heat and dim down.

I know it looks ugly, but nobody will see it, so I didn't spend any time trying to make it look nice.

Had my canopy down to cut open some vents for the new T5s. Decided to snap a couple pics. They are all shot with my iPhone under all blue Reefbrite XHO
