My sons are young and those little fingers get into everything. I considered putting a padlock on the stand.
You tell us when to change those T5 bulbs...
Here is my AI+T5 retrofit. im still ramping up to max intensity and 10 hours per day, then lowering the frame closer to the water. My wife is saying all the coral and clams are growing faster and have different colors coming out, its been only 3 weeks. 1 colony near the bottom front corner partially (1/4) browned but she said its coming back. even my RBTA is larger. I have been feeding really heavy and keeping alk 10, ca 400. All my cyano dissapeared instantly.
this retrofit of 6x AIs 90+120 degree sol blues and 2x T5 80w is currently 9 inches above the waterline of my 72"x24"x24"
gratuitous pic of my sunburst anthia... why? I dunno.

I do not have a Par meter. The LED is hanging the same distance as the ATI. I set from 10 am ramp up slowly until 18:00 is in full (40% blue and 25% white) of lighting and after 22:30 pm is slowly down until 23:00 pm the moon light is on until 12:00 is off every thing. I still playing the program with the controller.
There are 6 channel dimmable for all LEDs and all T5 bulbs by LINK SFILIGOI controller. It's so easy to use with LINK Controller.
Here is some of the pictures of LINK controller. It's nice to have the system locked for the protection.
Set up in couple Languages from English, Deutsch, Italy!
Main menu!
System is in the ram up time for 6 channel. starting at 10:00 am thru 23:00 pm (channel 1 for 2x80w T5, Channel 2 for another 2x80w T5, channel 3 for White LEDs, Channel 4 for Blue LEDs, Channel 5 for Red LEDs, and channel 6 for Green LEDs). All channel are now in 0% intensity.
