Someone posted this on Michigan Reefers and I thought people here would like to read it as well. I have not read it yet but plan on doing so tonight. Basically it's a review of how these bulbs are doing over extended periods of use.

that was really interesting. its weird how one little difference could make an impact on your tank. now i know that when i get my T5 bulbs i'm going to get AquaSciece ones. the growth differences were amazing!

I wonder how much those AquaScience bulbs with cost. Fauna Marine is NOT a cheap company to buy from.

The ATI Aquablue Special is listed as 12k on some sites, 15k on others. *shrugs*

Those are pretty nice comparison pics.  For the amount of savings you will have with the ATI bulbs, they produce a nice looking coral.  That is some nice coral growth for SPS for using T5's

Man I love this hobby.
