Nice work! Should skim way better and be a hell of a lot quieter. Another advantage is increased water flow through the filter. The stock venturi line uses the filter pump mix the air and water which reduces flow. This is definitely a win win.
So how often should I change my bulbs out on a T5? They've been the original ones for about 6 months.
9 to 12 months. Go with ATI. And of those are factory ones u might want to do it when u can
Yeah they're original lights. Now mines at Odyssea fixture. Can I put stronger wattage bulbs in the fixture or no?
I would only use what recommended

Okay cool. Thanks!
The fixture can only run the same watt bulbs it came with. ATI or Gisseman (sp?) bulbs would be a big light quality upgrade.
Most people don't keep the factory lamps for long. Odyssea bulbs are ultra low end. They will grow stuff but don't stay reliable for long (personal experience).
You would see a big difference in the colors and corals
Awesome. Time to start pricing out bulbs lol
ATI are about 20 a piece
It depends on the color u like. Let me see if I can find the thread I read about it. People posted pics of there tanks with the colors. Ill pm it to you cause it wasn't on here
