I've just replaced my 2 bulb T8 with a 2 bulb (650nm roseatte and 6000K) T5HO fixture. Looks awesome. I'm looking forward to some great plant growth, and hopefully with proper management of ferts, photo period and co2, less algae.

Oh yes, and now I have a spare canopy looking for a 4ft tank. Perhaps its time to take on that new cichlid tank project I've been thinking about.

_{75g Freshwater planted. Gravel/Clay/Pool Sand substrate. Pressure CO2 and EI ferts. 4x54W T5HO, Rena XP3 and Sponge Filter on powerhead. Rainbowfish, Neon Tetra's, Sterbai Corys, Otto's, Snails and SAE's.

90g Freshwater, unplanted. Sand substrate. One strip of T8 lighting. Emporor 400 and AC110 HOB filters. Clown loaches, Synodontis petricolas, Severum, Geophagus, Rosy barbs, Discus, Koi angels, Bolivian rams.}

I can tell you just in the short time I had mine on my new 55 I noticed how well the plants are doing already.
