from PC to T5's

[gprovo]

I am planning on going from PC's to T5's.
I have read a number of comments from other people that have even gone from MH to T5's and was wondering how it has worked for them before I spend the money on this.

Right now I have 4 125 watt PC's on a 110 gal tank (mixed reef) with 3 10k and 1 actinic. The main problem is finding replacement bulbs now that the original manufacturer has disappeared. The heat these throw out is also a factor. I also have 2 additional clamp on MH 150 watt MH 12 K for the SPS.
I have been looking at the TEK lights probably the 6 bulb version.

Any thoughts and or advice would be appreciated.

I am currently changing my lights from VHO's to T-5's. The main thing I have been trying to do is make sure I do not fry the corals with too much light right away. I am changing over because I like the large variety of bulb combinations and lower power consumption. I know a few people who are just running T-5's and they all have been very happy with their decision

I switched to T5 from PC and love them... corals do too. So does my Hair algae im battling. All my Zoas are great and my Birds nest is growing like mad I got up at Dr Fosters 4 months back or so. I bet I have 1/2" growth on all branches and forks it went from baseball to softball size at least.

Sounds great, thanks.
Looks like I'll be getting the TEK 6 bulb system from Reef Geek.
