I'll look into the hinge protection. Thanks!

Ok, me gots me some bulbs! Man, props to ReefGeek !!! The bulbs came double boxed and box #2 was suspended by foam blocks inside box #1. Inside box #2 was packing peanuts. Awesome.

So here they are installed. End cap is removed from the fixture to allow bulb installation.
I think I did pretty good with color on the first try. We'll see once I get the tank filled and stocked if I need to make any changes color wise.

Notice the T5 colors. The ATI Blue Pluses are way more blue than the UVL Super Actinics which have more of a pink tint. UVL on the inside and the two ATI on the outside.

End cap has to be removed in order to remove the glass so you can access the bulbs.
Just the T5's again in this image.
