T-5's

Hey everyone, I'm building a new display tank (48x20x20) and I want to go with T-5's for the lighting. This tank will be just SPS and some LPS, what's my lighting choices?

Has anyone used or heard of photon lighting from captive oceans?

Aquactinics Constellation would be great for that tank.

I have the Aquactinic 72" constellation on my 180 and I love it... just got my first SPS about a month ago... already showing great growth. FYI...

does the constellation come with ballasts or tank arms? or do you have to get like an icecap660 and make some kind of mounting system?

you can get the legs for it or a hanging kit or do like I did and make a pulley system for it.

how does this light match up to the ATI unit or the photon from captive oceans?
