I've always loved the way T5's look and almost went with T5's instead of my Radion. Now, a year or so later, I've been thinking of adding supplemental T5 lighting on top of my Radion. How difficult is it to retrofit a T5 fixture? I want to find a big enough fixture to fit everything in it. So, Radion in the middle, and 4 T5's, 2 on each side. Would this be a lot of work? Again, I've never retrofit lighting and am a terrible electrician.
 
Shouldn't be to bad but if you never done it take your time and read directions. I added 6 60 inch ati t5 lights for supplemental lights with my mh lights and love the color and effects it gave me.
 
Oh it comes with instructions? Sweet. Ya I agree. T5 puts out some awesome lighting. That's why I want some over my tank haha. It's not that the radion is no good, I just really enjoy the looks of a T5 lit tank
