They may be wave of future for replacement of VHO, but still do not have the punch to push to the bottom of a 24" tank !!! NO MATTER WHAT, THEY CAN NOT...if you want to keep clams, sps..and keep them happy, you need MH...and on a 90, you need 250's to reach the depth of the tank...check out this http://www.hellolights.com/hidretrofitkit.html they are at least the same if not cheaper than the T5, IMO, just because they come from Germany, doesn't mean they are the best...heck, I have a 400 watt 20k on a 30 gallon long mixed tank with many sps, lps, softies and 3 clams...all lovin it..with no chiller, with fans and auto top off from rodi, you can make mh work without the heat problems some people have. good luck and just my opinion....8 yrs worth _________ GO PANTHERS !!!!! SUPERBOWL XXXIII !!!!!
