I love the combo as it seems to be the perfect color combo, for me that is.
I did however add a reefbrite xho last week and it adds a little more pop. I am thinking of adding one more to the backside of the fixture now.

Why're you thinking of changing? Are you just bored and wanna go T5 or are you unhappy with the H26HD results?
I just like the simplicity of the T5's. I don't know where to set all the colors (chanels) with LED's. There's a good Hydra color setting post on here and I've set my lights to that. I guess I'll wait till black friday sales this year and make my decission then. Don't seem to get much coraline growth with LED's either although I've only had them 3 months. I would love a T5/LED combo light fixture. I guess I could make my own with a sun power and LED's on the sides (front & back). I guess I just need to give these Hydra's a chance.
So you didn't see much difference with the ATI T5's? Thats exactly what I was planning to do. Now not so sure

I recently switched from Radions to ATI T5 on my primarily sps tank and I have no regrets. I wish I had switched years ago! My next tank will be set up with T5 from the start.

So I picked up the light what a deal for the dimabke sunpower 8 bulbs fixture with 24 bulbs and a brand new reef bright blue led bar from BRS. I have just about every bulb combo I could want to try so I will play around with it to see what I like. The bulbs all have two months or less burn time on then.

I have dimmable but don't use the dimming function. It just shortens bulb life

Wasn't really planning one using dimming it was just the fixture I found for sale with all the extras for a very good price.

Keep us up to date on the combo you like, and how satisfied you are with the fixture
