Coralife mini aqualight t5

[mr_X]

I just added this fixture in addition to my DIY led strip and my corals sprang right up. But when I just have on the Coralife t5's they don't look bright at all compared to the LEDs, is that normal? How bright should t5's be?, & compared to 3 watt LEDs?

It's not too many on one rock. How long have you had the light? If you've only had the light a couple of days, the zoas are probably still adjusting to the light. Some zoas can take up to a week to open fully when under new lighting.

I have had it for a few weeks.

I donno, the picture doesn't look like a DYI one =/

I dunno 100% if it is a DIY, my friend told me it was custom made. It looks like a DIY unit to me.
