    I have heard from steve wright in quite some time, I think he may like these videos. Steve was always my "go to" when it came to bulb replacement.

    Ya know, I started to watch this video, and I'm sure it's an awesome one, the first part looked great.

    But for me, I'm running LED's until the cows come home.
    While I realize that T5's can be as good, or even better in many cases than Led's (Many kinds here), I don't want to even worry about when I should change my bulbs, plan and simple. I know, I know- pretty weak argument, but
    it's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Yea, max spect razor I feel like a t5 supplement would help brighten the colors up. My old 6 bulb t5 90 gal tank was amazing...sad it's gone.
