Ok, so for the past 8 weeks I've been using the Sunpod 48" 2x150 Metal Halide Fixture. I bought a couple corals and none of them survived. I had recently bought one last coral (Green Zoas) and they never really looked good or opened up.
So I decided to switch my lights based on reading and looking at peoples tanks on here. I went with the 48" Nova Extreme Pro 6x54 and I bought all new Better Bulbs as I heard the stock bulbs weren't that good
1. Blue Plus
2. Procolor
3. Super Actinic
4. Aqua Blue 12,000K
5. Procolor
6. Blue Plus
Anyways in the 3 days that I have been using them, my Zoas are now all open, have full color, and have actually doubled in size
I thought Halides were the end all - be all of Reef Lighting and the absolute best? Everything looks 1 Million times better since I switched to the T5 setup. Plus you cant beat the Dawn/Dusk effect
