These are all great arguing points and than you all for bringing them up. I do think that the energy savings and cost of replacement bulbs on the t5ho fixture could be argued a little more though, at least in my specific situation anyway, not that Jetta didn't make great points. On my tank I'm hoping to increase the lighting so we're not comparing one single t5 to one LED were comparing two of each so the energy savings alone doubles, now if I were to replace my t5ho bulbs every six months like I'm supposed to ($27 for geismanns at the LFS) one complete bulb change pays for the finnex fixture by itself. I am going to hold on to my t5 though for a bit, I've actually rethought my big purchase and I'll just be starting by getting the ray2 and see what it looks like with the t5, rather than dropping $300 all in one order. I am getting excited though, just a couple more days until its here!
