So my ancient aquatic life T5 fixture finally kicked the bucket last weekend, so I picked up a T5 hybrid fixture to replace the old girl. I'm currently just running the four T5 bulbs with my reef brite blue LEDs in the middle.

In looking for full spectrum LEDs to augment the T5s, my research keeps coming back to the usual big (expensive) players like AI Prime, Radion, and Kessil. I'm curious if anyone is using a more budget light like the Hipargero or something else I've never heard of. Does anyone have any experience with the less expensive LED options in a T5 hybrid?
