Anyone out there with an opinion on T5 lighting?

[leviwin]

I've been looking to upgrade the lighting in my tank and have heard lots of good stuff about T5 lighting. I was looking at a reef site in german and they were convinced that its much better than Vho and power compact. Has anybody ever used this lighting or have any opinions on it?

I love my T5's. If you don't wanna have the heat issue or the electrical cost of halides then I say get T5's.

what types of corals can you have under T5 lights and is it possible to have any types of Clams?

I know of someone on another board who has clams under T5's and says that its growing and doing well. I think the real test will be how the clams will do long term under T5's.
