Need pics from RPEs under just T5 lights

[ficklefins]

I was wondering if those with T5 lights could post any pics of their RPEs? I've had an issue lately with them losing their skirt color and I wanted to find out if anybody else was having this issue.

Thanks

I do... But I think its more from my color spectrum... What bulbs are you running???

I've had a bunch of zoas/palys lose their skirt colors under T5s, including RPEs, Cat Eyes, and a few others.

i just took this pic tonight, its kinda out of focus but you can see the RPE on the left there. I have a 6 bulb TEK fixture, one side is covered by eggcrate which deflects some of the light.

This is a couple weeks ago

Before they went under the eggcrate the skirts lost a lot of color. They were almost transparent. Its gotten a lot better since i put them on the other side of my tank. Dang these T5s are bright!
