Re: Rethinking my halides.
Well, that's a 13 page thread that's 2 yrs old and I'm not about to read it all. What do you want to discuss regarding MH lighting? I've been using mh's over my reef for 20 yrs, so I may have an answer if you have a question.

Re: Rethinking my halides.
I think he is saying since those t5's look so good he should have gone with those instead of the halides.

Re: Rethinking my halides.
Ryan, just think of all the heat you will be missing out on. Come on stay with the halides. I know I did.
