[peter1215]

I looking to upgrade my lights. I'm not sure wether to get Power compacts or T-5. which lights are bettor.

T-5's are way better if you have the money...

T5 will be better in all areas.

Agree with the others, T-5.
Since we were going primarily with FOWLR and maybe some simple, easy-to-keep corals down the road I opted for the Coralife CP/lunarlight fixture. Sure, a nice set-up and I anticipate being able to keep some corals, but I'm wishing I went with T-5s as we'd have a lot more options in the future.

I run pc's on mine, but have some T5's for the actincs on the tank. corals love them and so do I. can't beat the colors the T5 actinics put out.
except mh...
