going back to mH
I'm thinking of selling my T5 fixture and going back to mH. I have a 5 ft (120-130 g) tank and found some units on ebay that look ok.
I was thinking of either going with a 2x250w config with t5 actinics or a 2x150w config with t5 actinics. I only have softies now so that's why I am considering the 150w x 2 for energy saving purposes. However, I would also like better growth for my corals so would the 250 x2 be better?
In addition, I am debating between 10000k and 14000k. What do most of you use? I don't like the yellow at all and prefer white with a slight blue tinge. Is 14000k a happy medium or will 10000ks and t5 actinics do the trick? Any pictures that show the difference out there? My corals don't have a lot of color to them (everything looks pinkish) so would like lighting that brings out good color.
