Yeah, you heard me, what's all the ruckus? I remember a few years or earlier(not entirely sure) when they were first coming out and they were crazy expensive and no one knew much about them. I remember a guy building one himself and not liking it. Well I did the smart thing that a broke young man can do- I waited. So now, its been a few years, some info should be out there by now, and hopefully those prices are out of the grands. First off, how do you determine the correct amount of light for your tanks? Marineland has a fixture that seems to me to not ave enough lights to fill up a 55 gal, at least not evenly, but for all I know each light could be equivalent to 10,000 burning suns. I do not see watts! Also, what about kelvin temps? And the one that bugs me the most..... how long do they last or do you have to buy a million $30.00 bulbs every six months? Are they fine for planted tanks and can reefers use them? Thanks for hearing and can someone explain the hype to this T5 man?
