    Cool, thanks John. They are all ATI, two aquablues, one purple and what looks like one white. I am sure I will experiment many times with the combo as I replace bulbs.

    I know right! :)

    Will do when I get the fixture up and going. Researching DIY lids currently and once I get that done, next hang lights.

    Little devils. :angry: Who designs their tanks around the probability that the cats will hang from the lights and or jump in the tank.

    Thank you OFK.

    The white one is an AquaBlue Special.

    Hi Jerry. :)

    Which bulb should go facing the front pane, the first bulb if you're facing the tank?

    I thought the bulbs would be more expensive, actually is like buying 1 1/2 MH bulbs.

    Going from MH to T5 do you still have to acclimate your corals?
    Everything looks great BTW!

    Thank you. :)

    Oh yes big acclimation. Over all the spread of the ATI fixture with four bulbs is probably much more efficient than a single MH with limited spread.

    Thanks for the kind words.
