[drperetz]

...

I should have stated this earlier, I dont want to (incurege?) any on placing sps randomly of u have a t5 lighting set up....All I am doing is collecting people experiences so that people can refer to this thread and aquire some info on what techniques people use on reef keeping.

I have had SPS under all T5's for about 18+ months successfully, but like any other light, you have to have your water parameters in check for it to work

I have been growing my sps under T5's for about 8 months now and have had great results. I have 4 39watt over a 30 gallon with a 20 gal sump i skim with a remora and dose 2part. my green digi nhas grown from a 2 inch frag to a five+ inch colony. my green milli colony has grown about 2 inches and i have a purple bonsai colony that has grown about an inch. I will post pics asap. all of my sps are placed mid tank or slightly higher.
