    Havn't even got my tank going yet and I've already ordered a different light fixture. Just upgraded from a 130 watt pc 50/50 unit to an Aquatic Life T5 4x24 with moon lights and built in timer with only one power chord. I'll keep my pc unit for a backup. Anybody using the Aquatic Life T5?

    4 T5 lights versus 2 PC. Sounds like a nice upgrade

    I run the 36" T5 just like yours.. I seriously love my light and I just wish they made a 6 bulb that would fit over a 75 gallon, so I could get it for my next tank..

    My tank is 29 gallon 30" long. I'll put pics of my set up on my build thread in a few days when I get it going. 41.5 total gallons on my system with sump and fuge included. ERMANO; my system is going to be much like yours. I have a mag 9 return pump choked down alot, 2 Hydor Koralia 2's and a Corallife 65 super skimmer.
