Ok so if you've seen the for sale threads you've seen me selling almost my entire setup. I'm upgrading from my 65 rimless to a 105 rimless and from AI Vegas to T5's. I don't have much experience with T5's and after having LED's I want to see what growth I can get on a T5 setup. I'm going with the aquaticlife 48", 6 bulb. Also building the stand from scratch. A big thanks goes out to Reeferwunnabe (matt) for basically building this for me. I supplied the wood, beer, and hamburgers and stood around watching Matt build this thing.
