If it's a Eunicid or similar type I don't think there are going to be many reef safe predators. When I pulled mine out my trigger took a nip and the...

More output doesn't always mean brighter color, we are probably giving many types of sps more than they need and others not enough. When you approach photoinhibition you are risking bleaching the...

There are many nice tanks that use both types. If I had a large and deep tank I would use MH as my main light. I think one advantage to T5's would be if your running multiple bulbs you can tweak the...

I do feel 4 overdriven T5's on SLR's is enough. In fact my lights are about 10 inches off the surface. I have quite a few nice corals at the lower end and they are nicely colored IMO.

It was about 8 inches below the surface under 4 overdriven t5's running each day, then I also run a 400 mh for a few hours a few days each week. I would say medium/higher flow.
