Carpet anemone under hot5
 

Can it be done?

What's a hot5?

My green carpet is exceptionally happy about 20" below a 175W 10K MH.

As long as the tank isn't too deep and the T5's have individual M shaped reflectors, you should be fine.

let me step in here, i speak rudy-ese

hot5= (HO t5)High Output T5

I would think it would work fine.. I think it depends on the tank though, and how many lamps of course.
