I have no problem being a bulb biatch. My first set of bulbs last 13 months. It took me less than an hour to take down both fixtures, thoroughly clean them, and install all 16 bulbs. Well worth it if you ask me. I ran diy leds with T5 supplements, I ran Radions with T5 supplements, and now all T5s with leds supplement lights. My tank transformed when I switched to all T5s. You couldn't give me a the latest greatest radions. Nothing beats the color and growth I get form my sps with T5s. When I ran MHs, growth was insane, but honestly I think colors are better with T5s.
