I took the Solar meter and t5 plunge

[Whatcamo]

Well just minutes ago I finalized my plunge investment into a solar meter 6.2 and an Arcadia 12% t5 which was recommended by Todd since I have such a large free range and a lot of vegetation I'll also be updating this thread on all the current UVB bulbs I have including the fluker's sunspot MV bulb, reptiglo 5.0 and 10.0 compact and reptisun 5.0 figure I might as well share my results with the community

I'll be very interested also! I have a solar meter 6.2 (love it) - but I would like to switch over to the T5's at some point. Thanks in advance for your input!

I will be getting the 46" bulb I will be using a DIY ballast reflector system by giesman lighting I've found the reflectors to be the best in the aquarium use for spread and reflectiveness....also with the ballast I can run up to 4 bulbs so I will have the Arcadia, 10k bulb, 3,500k and 6,500k bulb for a true full spectrum of lighting

I also upgraded to T5's last week. Much brighter and I am sure my panther has become more active since. Unless its just my mind playing tricks to justify the expense
