Would love to see how you plumb that Basement Tank March. I have LEDS right now but always second guessing if it’s enough although it seems to be so far. Love you videos, for some reason I can retain the info you give, I think your more my type of person then some other channels no matter what they are talking about I just don’t grasp much of what their saying 😄

T5 is far better than LED no question. Proven spectrum and amazing spread.

@brymac1227
@brymac1227 3 года назад
I disagree. The spectrum of any given T5 bulb can be closely matched with an LED fixture. The spread of T5 can also be matched by using a large number of panel style LED fixtures (although this is usually not as cost effective compared to T5).
@Joshthereefer
@Joshthereefer 3 года назад
@@brymac1227 LEDs are like laser beams, they do not provide the soft evenly distributed light T5 provides. With T5 you are able to provide the corals with a very big spectrum range eg. true UV, that LED does not provide. Why do you think farmers like Reef Raft Canada use T5 instead of LED for their Acropora??? LED does not colour up the corals the same, or grow them as aggressively. Under T5, corals actually develop real colours. You don't need to rely on the blue lightshow to show the colours.

@brymac1227 3 года назад
@@Joshthereefer The nature of an LED is as a point source. However, through evenly distributing these with a panel and the addition of a diffuser, the light can be soft and evenly distributed like a T5. The spectra of T5 bulbs and most LED fixtures are known. The spectrum of an LED fixture can be adjusted to match almost any of the popular T5 bulbs out there. As for UV, many LED fixtures have true UVA, (usually around 380-390 nm) like the Kessil, Maxspect, and GHL LED fixtures. The effects of this UV radiation on corals is not entirely known. In most cases, when the water is not perfectly clear, UV light does not penetrate deeper than 12 inches, thus making it a moot point when using it to compare T5 and LED.

@@brymac1227 most old school reefers will tell you that T5 or Halide will grow coral better than LED. LED manufacturers keep trying to mimic T5’s and halides, simply because they are amazing. It’s no secret that LED doesn’t compare. Watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UFH0HjjAzGM.html even a gentleman at WWC explains that the reason why people don’t have as much success with wild clams is because of LED light. It is not the same as T5 or halide.

If I still had my 90 gallon reef I would still be using T5 lights for sure. I'm setting up a 40 gallon cube and the T5 fixture for it at 24" across is about $600 and I would have to have it suspended way too high off the tank that every one would had the lights in their eyes so I'm going with one of the V2 led lights that I purchased through Fragbox ! ;)

I have a 40 cube that I have had most LED on. Including the ATI Straton, Ecotech G5, Kessil A500X, etc. and thinking about getting rid of the LED and going back to 24 inch T5. LED (I'm an LED junkie and have been for well over a decade), but LED still isn't on par with T5 I don't think. Even all of the large coral farms run T5 and MH. If you have any questions let me know.

Old video but hoping you still check them! I’m considering adding T5 to my 2 hydra 32’s. Long story short a buddy of mine switched to full LED as he didn’t like the look of the hanging fixture. What is your take on the hybrid method. Tank is 4’x2’x2’ would a 48” 4 bulb aquatic life fixture and 2 hydra 32’s be way too much or would it be a solid combo of growth and viewing pleasure? Thanks!

Question: I replaced a T5 bulb yesterday on my 72'" Odeyssea light fixture. When plugging in, the second set of T5s came on for about a second and went off. Since then, I have not been able to get them back on. The bulbs are good since I took them out and tested each with the second set of T5s. There are 4 T5s total. They run as a set, on the timer, which is built into the fixture. What do you think might be the problem? Ballast? I am not much of an electronics guy here. The fixture is on a 120gallon reef / saltwater fish aquarium. Right now, I switched bulbs around and I have 2 whites burning and 2 blues out. I am concerned about the growth of my coral. I would be happy to provide you with an emai address or even a phone #. I trying to avoid purchasing a new fixture. Any help I would really appreciate. Thank you.

Either you open the Odyssea and change that ballast, or get an ATI Sunpower that will give you way better results!

I have an ati sunpower and was pretty bummed when one of the banks stopped working past warrenty. I was a lot less bummed when I realized I could easily repair it with a $26 ballast. I don't think you can repair a broken led fixture for anywhere near that.

Some coral farmer have leds because they are sponsorised. They just put them over the selling tank for nice coulours but they still have tanks with halides and t5 for grow corals. Alors they used more led than we put them higher and run a lot of white some hours

WWC was given all of their G5 Radions. It was a publicity move for Ecotech and it worked. All Coral farms are still using MH and T5 to grow and propagate frags.

1:45. Of course it is! What are you talking about? LOL!! So only you can enjoy the benefits of T5s? LOL! T5s are the easiest best way to lit any corals!!! T5s are amazing for growth/colors too!!! Best easy light for ANY tank! Way better than LEDs in many ways for home aquariums. Bring that Sunpower down half way, man!! It's way too far from those corals! 5:00 You don't recommend T5s? What a joke!? LEDs are a fashion and in many ways they represent a scam!! Doesn't make any sense to use T5s and don't recommend it. What a huge contradiction, don't you think??! You should recommend T5s over any LEDs any time!
