What does your (primary) tank's lighting currently consist of? I'm not counting moon lighting by the way !

However going with halides and a sick amount of T5's with my new canopy.....oh....and some par38's in between the halides....might be overkill....

What's T6? There's T8 and T12 but never heard of a T6. There's also no option for halide+t5+led. Seems like lots of options for other.

Plasma, it's out there. And yeah, I'd never heard of T6 either. Mox Nix though, since I still say fluorescent, as good as it is for our application, will become increasingly difficult to source in the future, especially those funky spectra used in our application.

Forgot to include Xenon arc as a possible 'other'.
