T-5's?

[fbm]

I have a bubble tip under mine. I have only had him about 4 months, and one of those months he was missing. But in the last 3 months he has doubled or more in size and beautiful color.

Could you post a full tank shot of your tank with the lights on so I can see what they look like? Also I was looking at the dual power center timer on this site. It is under the lighting category in aquarium supplys. Can a timer like that be hooked up to the constellation so I could have the actinics turn on before the main daytime lights? Also do you where I could find a timer like that, that also has a dimmer? Thanks for all the help.

im not too familiar with that timer, but pretty much any timer will work, however this fixture isnt designed to be dimmed, only with certain ballasts. heres a full tank pic. again i have 3 geisseman 15k and 2 pure actinics, but the lights are A LOT brighter than in the pic.

Thanks for all the help Justin. I still cant find any T5's over 10K. I am trying to find the 15K geisemann like you recomended but I can only find geisemann metal halides.

this will probably get deleted, but i dont see the big deal because swf.con does not sell lighting supplies.
