I can't believe it took you this long to ditch those LEDs!!! I hate them, the spectrum is just to far off for my personal taste. I use T5HO's exclusively on all my tanks using a combination of 10k's and rosette's, this gives me the best coloration for my specific fish.

Looks awesome now!!!

Wow!! Thanks bro! That means ALOT coming from you! I can't believe it took me this long either lol. I can't believe these are the same fish!

Which do you like better. Top is the stock Deep Blue bulbs. Bottom is ATI bulbs.

Wow that's tough, the top one I like the fish better but the bottom one makes the hardscape better That's why I like my T5's the color combinations are limitless, where as the basic LED's are just to harsh for my taste.

Top has a 10k and a actinic 460 the bottom is the 10k and a ATI purple plus.

Is this your old 4 bulb fixture or a new one?

4 bulb fixture crapped out. This is a dual fixture from deep blue. I wanna go 4 though....

I was hoping it was the 4 bulb so you could incorporate them all. I love my 48" 4 bulb and my 72" 8 bulb Aquaticlife T5HO fixtures, a little pricy but the reflectors are amazing and I love the built in timers!

I'm getting the 4 bulb aquatic life fixture for Father's Day or should I aim high for the 8?

No the 4 bulb is more than enough for freshwater.

Awesome, I'm gonna go ahead with the 4 bulb as planned.
