T5s with PAR38

[kuay5]

Anyone using T5s with PAR38? Can i see some tank shots?

Contemplating on switching my 2 maxspect 110w (with lens) to a T5s with PAR38 setup. I am just keeping clams and LPS, but my tank is 2.5 depth.

How big is your tank? There is a reefer in Nano-Reef.com (imisky) with a PAR38 & T5s hybrid lighting setup. Here are some photo references from his tank thread.IMO, it is pretty decent for a narrow tank width, but if you have a wider tank, you'll probably need more tubes or LEDs for broader light coverage.

This is a nice DIY unit. What is your tank size ? You would need to use more unit of PAR38 LED if you intent to switch over, since the coverage angel of the light is smaller as compare to other LEDs..

2x2x2.5, yes i reckon, probably i'll need 3-4 PAR38. The T5s will be in the center, and the PAR38 will beam in from the corners...
