    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Hi Al. Good Question. The T5's do have U shaped individual reflectors. I agree with you....the colors with LED and T5 combined are much richer than I have seen with LED alone. I also think there is some greater flexibility with all of the T-5 combinations that you can have. Time will tell if...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Sorry for the delayed response..... I was traveling the last couple of days on business. The fixturers do have fans. In fact.... when I read your post... I had to wait to get home to actually look and listen. Frankly I had not heard them at all since I got them. The fixture is just now...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Fair question.... Please note that I have a tank that is 30" high....as opposed to a normal 24" and that I am 10 1/2 inches above the water. If I was say 6" above water on a 24" deep tank....then I would expect much higer numbers on the bottom. Also....something to note... I am bare bottom. So...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Hi Ben. Yes the moons are programmable over night and through out the day. I run mine at one level until midnight and then off to create total darkness from midnight to 6 am. Then the moons come on again. Is that what you are looking for?

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    If I could learn how to take decent pictures...:bluenod:.. The light is definitely close to MH. You can adjust whites, blues, and colors, plus the moons all separately. So.. You can get just about anything you would like. I also will say that compared to my first LED this is like having my tank...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    OK.... Thanks to a local reefer, Crooks, I have some PAR readings of the 24" Gamma T-5 LED Hybrid over my 92 Gal Corner Bow Front. Note: the height of the tank is 30" and the front to back measurement is 36". This is at full power with my crappy camera skills. The photo stinks.... Dre... I need...

    Led lighting choice...

    Hi. I think over the next several months we are going to see more and more LED fixtures coming out. As someone note before there are those who dont believe that LEDs are proven. I have seen a lot of very nice tanks with LEDs as I have with T5s, MH and combinations of these. A new combination...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    I just got this light on Thursday so no growth pictures. Will be a while yet. I also have figured out the problem I have new have been having with my tank. Too low of nutrients. The Alpha Pellet reactor has been replaced with one that won't deplete the nutrients so completely. I am still...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Hey Matt! I think this light rocks! The on board programmability is awesome. The colors are terrific. The fans are silent. Fit, finish and function...spot on. There are a couple of minor things that I am going to provide feedback on and I am sure Gus will quickly incorporate them. From...

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Here the T5s are off as are most LEDs except two moonlights....and they are at 40%. The view is better and brighter in person....and then moon shimmer is hypnotizing. I have staring inside the tank and loving the new light. More to come!

    New Hybrid LED - T5 Light Coming Out!

    Light with T5s on and 50% on whites, blues and colors. Light with T5s off and everything at 20% sunset. I will need to play with positioning and tilt with the light to optimize spread and coverage. More to come!
