Would appreciate opinions on good t5 fixtures and bulbs. Adding them to existing LEDs and plan to start eliminating them . I used to use Phoenix bulbs are they still a good quality bulb? Thanks, Bubba Shirl
 
Bubba, what are you looking for in a fixture (4, 6, or 8 bulbs)?

I personally love the Giesmann T-5 bulbs. Depending on the number of bulbs you are going with, I can offer some suggestions.

perks of MH & T-5's over LED is simple...they also grow!

LED supplementation is awesome to MH &/or T-5
 
ATI makes the best fixture. Great lamps too. Geismann lamps are also good.

Avoid the Chinese fixtures and lamps; they're junk and I think you've had enough junk now...
 
My leds are dimming slowly and to replace the drivers would be $300+ So I added my old 2bulb t5s and the front of the tank where they are placed is looking better already especially the acans. I was getting ready to give them away now they are looking so much better that I am going to frag them and give them to the gentleman that takes care of the tank while we are away. So, I want to add 3 new 2bulb fixtures across the front and as the LEDs get worse start replacing with larger t5 fixtures.
will start to look at ATI's in the morning. Thanks guys, you have helped me to make an educated decision and the direction I need to take. Thanks again, Bubba Shirl
