    panorama module-12 watts

    panorama pro-19 watts

    stunner strips are only used to supplement your existing fixture, but panorama modules will grow you anything if you have enough of em. i would suggest the pros as you can also buy the remote to change the color, literally making you capable of changing the light to any color possible. the stunners do make even flourescent lighting look fantastic over a fish only tank though. they are truly stunning.

    I want something to add to my T5's at this point to make my coral pop and create shimmer. I will google panorama pro.

    then stunners are gonna be what you want, panorama pros are really used as a sole light source. not just to accent lighting like a stunner strip. a stunner strip is made for that, just making corals pop but not really adding any additional light output.

    I have stunners, your T5's will wash them out completely. The do make for great actinics though.

    not if he gets enough of them, they will still make your lights look sharper and shimmer if you dont get that many.

    By enough you must mean about 6+.... I have 2 12" stunners on a 4 bulb 24" t5 fixture and you can't tell they are even on when the t5's are fired up. even doubling them up on one end doesn't make a difference.

    I was worried about the T5s washing them out. They have a 48" version....
