Well I decided I just was sick of having a tank that could be seen from space.The 2 250s I had over my 75 were (to me) just too much light.So I picked up a T5 setup and I love it.
Sure theres no shimmer,, but theres also no crazy heat issues or blinding lights..also the fixture is all in one so no ballasts and alot fewer cords and timers.
I was having to run T5 actinics anyway to get the colors I wanted so I just through another 2 bulbs in there.
After 3 days all the corals (even sps) seem to be doing fine and my tank has not risen above 78 degrees once.
Wish me luck!
