I am getting ready to order my T5's at the end of the month. I am going with the 8 bulb nova.

Those of you with T5's, could you please post some pics of your tank and possibly mention what bulbs you have.

Thanks a bunch

I would call Current and see when the Nova with individual reflectors are coming out.On another site,they said any day now.I think there has been enough of 75 floating around here.You can see in on page one of "Reef's 210g. Journal".You will amaze at how bright they are...congrats.

He used to have them on a 55. Then moved them over to his new tank when he got the 75.

I am still waiting for my 55 to grow up to a 75. Is there a supplement that will speed up the process?
