Potential lighting change...

[96p993]

I am contemplating changing lights on my tank and I thought I would get some opinions...I am deciding between a MH/T5 combo and an ATI Sunpower 8 bulb. My tank is sps on top and zoas (39x24x22) on the lower portions of the tank. Right now Im running LEDS and simply have not been that happy with the outcome. The MH/T5 combo Im looking at is the Lumen Bright MH/T5/LED fixture

I know the Lumen Bright reflectors are some of the best as are the ATI reflectors...Im just hoping to get some opinions from owners of these fixtures or other fixtures..Any and all opinions welcome.

Thanks

I vote the sunpower. I like the colors you can get with the T5s..

How come your not happy with the radions you have?

I love my ati dimmable sunpower fixture.......great customer support! I am excited to try the new ati coral plus t5 bulb! I have sps and zoas too and both look brilliant under my 8 bulb combo of ati aquablue plus and aquablue special.....

The ati fixture is hands down proven to grow nice colorful sps as well as mh. The radion is not proven yet. The lumen bright mini are a great reflector and have some high par value. They are both great options and which ever one you choose would do great.

Getting used to and acclimating your tank to LEDs can take months. It has taken me almost a year to get everything settled in. Trust me, I was ready to throw the towel in on LEDs but glad I waited it out thus far.

I have no issue with acclimating my coral to the LED's...I simply dont like the color it has been giving my corals. My new corals are not getting their color back from browning when being fragged...Right now Im simply thinking and looking at my options
