Edit: I was unaware of the subsequent discussion of those hoodie holes. To be clear, I meant it in only the platonic sense of affection!

So, you wanna run a stick tank, eh?

Oi... just got the lighting rig disassembled. Gonna swap out and rewire the two T5 ballasts, (even though I'm hoping I don't need them) and add the two new Noopsyches. What a royal PITA...

Ballast test a success! That took way longer than it needed to. lol. Time for a nap and then I'll wire in the LEDs. I'm running 48 hrs blackout anyway, so I'm not in a hurry.

What's your opinion on the T5 + LED combo, still prefer that to an all LED setup? After your nap of course :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:

The more I see the combo, the more I like it for my next build..
The coverage and par #'s are amazing. The one thing I don't like is that the T5's wash out the LED shimmer. This is why I'm adding two more K7's. If I like the coverage and #'s, I'll likely leave the T5's off. If not, I'll run them for awhile, but eventually buy two Quantra light bars to replace the T5s.

Not the first mention of Quantra I've heard around here either, definitely going to keep those in mind as well!

So, when I said I was gonna take my time, I meant it. After a (very) long break, I just finished mounting the LED fixtures. I still need to run the wiring and mount the lunar lights, but I'll square that away in the morning. I think I'm gonna throw on a Christmas movie.
