Happy new year everyone. I've just made the switch from led to t5 lighting for the new year. I was running 2 blackboxes on my 60 gallon rimless and switched to a ati sunpower 48" 6x54w.I have to say I love the look of the new fixture it is very slim and gives a nice clean look and light output is amazing.I do miss the color pop that the blue leds gave during sunset so I will be adding a 48" royal blue led strip to bring it back.I currently have my fixture 8"-10" above the tank I would love to see some shallow tanks with similar lighting and their placement.Happy Reefing!:eek::D:)
