    So I have a new plan with my lighting. I am still going to do a T5 Led combo, but setting it up a little different.

    I am running the 60" 6 bulb ATI front center. Mounted dead center behind the T5 will be a Sol blue. Then I am using (2) Kessil 350W's left and right of the T5.

    I figure I get the best of all worlds. The growing and color from the T5, the shimmer from the kessils and then the SOL will be hooked up to apex for sunrise and sunset and moonlights.

    Good news is I have all those lights. The Sol blue is NIB and have an extra VDM. The 2 kessils will come from my 100 and the T5 I scored 2 months ago.

    Need to bust a move on the stand! Tank is ordered and will be in next Friday. Got 300 pounds of rock curing in the garage, one week in and man does it stink!
