Hey all, noob lighting question for ya. I currently have a 48" 4x54 watt T5 fixture on my 75 gallon, and I feel I'm missing out on that beautiful "glimmer" effect metal halides bring to a tank. My question is would be possible to get that effect by adding one or two metal halide bulbs mounted...

Being new to the hobby, I try to get information from as many people as possible. Often times, the info I get from one person contradicts what someone else tells me. I am currently in the build stages of a 120G mixed reef. It is time to make my lighting choices and I am debating between MHs...

I tested the PAR in my reef this weekend with my new PAR meter from apogee. I concluded that I EASILY get the same PAR as anyone with any type of metal halide. My bulbs are mostly 2 months old, some are 6 months old. I would call my 'Blend' of lights, 14K average. At about 1" under each...

I found these hiding in a little out of the way shop today. Not sure if they have a fancy name or not but I really thought they were great. Prettiest zoanthid I have to date. They were inexpensive too! Didn't take the time to get a really good picture but this a fairly decent representation...

I've been gone for a while and I know many people were comparing T5 lighting and MH for use with SPS. What is the concensus now? I'm setting up a, probably, 15g. Would like some SPS in there but am worried about heat with MH. Thanks!
