      Thanks Anton and thanks again for letting me use your clip!

    Great video! I think I'll build one with my new build! I might use two metal L brackets to rest my red sea led on rather than using another price of wood.

    Great video, love the comparison shots. I'm toying with adding more light to my system as well. (Lit by 3 kessils). I've actually had good luck putting a black box between 2, so I'm either going to go with 2 more black boxes, one more kessil or T5's. It's been many many years since I've had to change a bulb so I'm not sure I want to go back to that...

      Average Reef Thanks! T5s are a hassle but they're well worth it - you can't beat T5s for growth.

    This is great is it possible you could make one from parts like the ballast and end caps etc. and fit it in a nice canopy .thanks

      @ReefDork  5 лет назад

      Yeah, I don't see why not. If you take time and plan it, you could make something really nice.

    am new in this hobby...i keep seeing T5 light...is it the same with our regular T5 florocent light tube?or aquascape light tube?

    • @ReefDork
      @ReefDork  3 года назад

      No idea what regular T5 is I'm afraid - the bulbs for marine are a specific spectrum though if that helps.

    How many watts you recommend for 50 gal tank? Planning to use t5 because reef light is so expensive and i'm a begginer 😊

    • @ReefDork
      @ReefDork  6 месяцев назад

      4x 2 foot T5 tubes will do nicely

    Can I ask what schedule you use on your LED and T5?

    • @ReefDork
      @ReefDork  6 лет назад

      Leds ramped to 80% from 11am to 10:30pm. T5s were on from 2pm to 8pm.
