Default MH, T5, PC or VHO lights
I am just getting ready to get some lights for my 90 gal tank. I am thinking mostly softies and some fish since this is my first tank in a while. I am assume I need about about 400 watts of power but not sure what to go with -- MH or T5s or PCs or VHO, I am overwhelmed.

Please advise.

T5 HO is almost on par with metal halide.

It's THAT good.

Default T5s here I come
Looks like T5s are the way to go. I think I will get the Sunlight Supply Tek lights. Anyone with experience with thier cheaper model (T5 newwave)?
