I have a 20 G Nuvo and need feed back on which light would be best.
ATI 4 x 24 Dimmable or Radion XR15 Pro? Your thoughts are appreciated.

On a tank that small, I like to minimize heat and run LEDs. However, I think T5's beat LEDs when it comes to color. If you're willing to deal with the heat, hanging the fixture, and light spill, I'd say go for the Sunpower.

Get ati but don't get dimmable.... instead add one reefbrite. That's what I have in my 20 gallon and everything is doing great.

For Color and Grow, T5 over LED all DAY...

I spent the first 7 years of my hobby pushing the benefits of LEDs. Once I switched over to T5 just to see what it is like, I realized I was living a 'lie' the entire time.

If not 100% T5, at least 50% T5 with LED supplement.

I agree with [MENTION=6904]Zoarder[/MENTION] dimmable is not necessary plus it'll shorten the lifespan of the t-5 if you keep dimming it.

I see what your saying about the life of the t5 with Dimmable. On the ATI website they are selling the fact that the light will last longer... ?
