Here’s a pic from a few weeks ago when I built and tested the stand. More pictures tomorrow if someone reminds me

Okay, now that we have that out of the way...I still think you should do the coralife T5 fixture with a couple of AI Primes. That'll give you excellent color and growth, etc.

This is my favorite option because you could start off with either the T5 fixture or the 2x AI Primes and then upgrade to the other one later.
