    I don't know anything about LEDs. I'll check out that light. Thanks Gary!

    Ill post a link. It came to mind because I am doing a group buy for them. They would be an addition to your lighting that you have now. They really make the colors POP!

    let me know if you go the LED route and how it goes. I'm tossing up whether to go with t5 or LED unit for my parents 180...

    The Reef Brite LED's would be an addition to add to the T5. By adding the Reef Brite, it would make the colors show MUCH better than using T5's alone.

    For a 180, it would take a LOT of LED's to light it properly......

    i'm aware, but the prospect of only having to remember to change bulbs once every 8-10 years is really appetizing. I wasn't necessarily just considering the reef brite unit.

    Those LEDs look really cool. Would I be able to attach them to the Sunlight Supply Tek 5 fixture? I'm not sure how it would go on there....any ideas?
