Compact and NO mix on my main tank. NO on my others. I like the variety I can get from NO. I can mix and match colours to get just what I want, and on low tech tanks without co2, they put out plenty of light.

Maybe T5s didn't exist in the US when this poll was originally posted (2004...)?

LOL! I had not seen the poll before, so I bit.

But you needed some to admit to plain old NO fluorescents, not OD'd.
