Running a 6 bulb T-5 HO with 3 22000k and 3 15000k Giesmann bulbs. They are around $25.00 apiece.

They look good. Does your fixture have separate actinic and daylight switches?

4 cords on separate timers, 3 switches and one dimmable switch for the 7 blue led moonlights.

Thanks, their nice but bulbs are not cheap. 6x $25.00 twice a year. I'll be looking at getting an led fixture before these bulbs need to be replaced.

(Wondering if Tony is cursing me for telling him about that fixture)...

I love my led light. Wasnt too expensive either and takes up less room. I don't know much about t5s because I was running pc bulbs and the were $30 each

No not cursing you Kevin, the lights are great. It's just expensive to change the bulbs. At some point I'll be going with led's. It's all about the money.

I had to remove my yellow citron goby today. I noticed him biting the polyps off my acro. Unacceptable! Traded him for a Banggai Cardinal.

The bangaiis are pretty cool looking. I had one that liked to chase my lazer pointer.

Lol, it seems much more active than my pj cardinal. Although the pj has been out following him around.
