What do you guys think? I am leaning towards PC, because it comes with 2x65W Daylight 12000K, 2x65W Actinic Blue, while the t5 has 2x54W Daylight 12000K, 2x54W Actinic blue. This is going to be a first with me trying corals and I dont want to go the mh route yet.

I'm currently using both and I like the T-5's better. In fact will be getting rid of my PC set up in probably a week or so. 48" 2 x 65 watt 10,000 K daylight and 2 X 65 watt blue actinic. I've kept shrooms, leathers, and a few softies with no problems. Recently upgraded to a 125 from a 55 so I'm expanding and going MH with t-5 supliments for color.

I think they put out more light for less watts. The big plus in my opinon is way less heat! They run much cooler and take up less space.

My LFS has T5's in his display tanks. Swears by them. I bought same set up as his but yet to set them up since i am still cycling. But I am very excited about them, i had PC in my last tank, and they ran pretty hot, these shouldn't but we will see.
