IMO, anyone that has a good MH or T5 unit can be proud of their lighting. Sure beats the PC alternative.

BTW - The Atlanta aquarium uses natural sunlight and a ton of 1,000w and 2,000w MH bulbs to light their reef tank.
WHATS WRONG WITH PCs!!!!! hahahaha....just kidding....hate to see the discussion end so soon!

I like the way you are now driving down the middle of the road!
