LED/T5/MH on the same tank Picture

[IamRobG]

I'm making the full switch to LED today but i had 1 Acan 18", 1 150W Current USA Metal Halide and 1 36" Deep Blue 4x39 T5 on the tank at once. Here is the picture so you can see the comparison. The Acan is set at 100% and is quite bright it almost drowns out the MH. I also have just the MH and the T5 so you can see the difference. Tank is a 125G 6ft long. Excuse the tank condition i'm in the rebuilding and starting from scratch stage.

What bulb combination are you using with the T5's and what kind of bulb(spectrum) are you using with the MH

the leds look good but would have been nice to throw an ATI T5 FIXTURE OVER THAT TANK AND THAN COMPARE LIGHTS USING ATI BLUE + AND SOME KZ FIJI PURPLE

The T5 had 2 10K and 2 Actinic. The Halide is a 14K. I had the twin T5 fixtures on the tank for about a year and for a regular fixture with that bulb combo i had no problem growing clams or SPS, the halide was a loaner when i had my tank meltdown and need an extra light for all the different tanks i had set up.
