    My 24" 4x24w Odyssea t5 fixture came in today and I love it, what a huge difference it makes in the tank ;D. I ordered all ATI bulbs and here is the order:

    Front
    blue+
    Aquablue special
    purple+;
    blue+.
    Back

    The ballasts run the front 2 and back 2 together.

    I was thinking of running the light schedule as follows:
    8am-7pm blue+&purple+
    9am-6pm all lights
    6pm-8am leds.

    Any suggestions on the schedule are much appreciated! enjoy:)

    I dun have any real suggestions other than I like the look of the new light :D, so with that light schedule you don't have any period of time for total darkness??

    No the leds are moonlights, and i had them running all the time on my old fixture day and night. but on this one programmed it just for night.

    Congrats, if you are a little electrically minded you probably could open the fixture up and move then end pieces so that you can run the dawn/dusk on the front and back positions.

    some one said that you can find individual reflectors to put in, you will get a lot better light out of it if you do, not that I can say much I'm to lazy to do it to my lights.
