I CAME ACROSS THIS LED FIXTURE BY REEF RADIANCE, ITS THE LUMENTEK PRO 180. JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANY EXPERIANCE WITH THIS FIXTURE? IT WOULD BE USED ON MY 40BREEDER, AT THE MOMENT I HAVE A 6 BULB T5 FIXTURE..4 BLUE+,1 CORAL+ AND 1 PURPLE+..(LOVE THE GROWTH). BUT THEN I KINDA LIKE THE SHIMMER OF THE LEDS!! AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU GUYS DID A T5/LED FIXTURE, SO IM STUCK AT THE MOMENT. HERE IS THE LINK JUST INCASE YOU NEED A LIL MORE INFO ON THE SPECS. THANKS

They have lots of reviews on R2R and they usually post on there a lot too. Seen good things about them

to be completely honest, i stopped reading after about the first sentence in CAPS...

you can go either way tho, it all depends on your overall goals of what types of coral you would like to keep...take the cap locks off and try again perhaps?

i almost bought that i went with http://www.marinedepot.com/Hamilton...t_Fixtures-Hamilton-HT2111-FILTFIT54U-vi.html instead, PS pm the guy and ask for a deal he will cut you one.

Or you can add DIY LED supplement with 24 blue/royal blue Cree leds on a 36'' long heatsink and then attach it to your T5s

Is there noticeable shimmer/color when T5s are on?
