Yes, thanks Billy! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't reducing PAR. I (and my corals/anemones) are very happy with the current set up(2x 250 mh & 2x96 PC) so I will just get the two T5's and two MH. Plenty of room for those under the canopy.

I'm not sure I understand, isn't the T5's going to be actinics ? Why the concern with the PAR ? I have used PC actinic's for years and although I agree they don't look as good as the T5's they are fine to use for the dusk/dawn effect.

good point Robert, but isn't it nice to know you have the best ;) And if you ever get a MH that is too blue, you can use the T5s as Daylights and bring the blue down.. Like I am thinking about doing..

I just do not want to end up with dimmer actinics than what the PC's are now. I need strong actinic supplementation to overcome the XM 10k brightness.
