ok so these are the standard energy saving comercial t5's not the HO T5;s that the fish industry is raving about. looks like a local LFS is trying to hitch a ride on the hype sale with the wrong product.

the hype in the reef comunity is based on the high output version of the T5 bulb. a 2 foot bulb is about 40 watts output and the intensity is much higher than the standard t5 . will they work on a small tank, probably, let us know. I see that some people are using NO tubes on reef tanks with some success. I was simply stationg that I see a lot of LFS claiming to have "The" T5 light the industry is going crazy over, and then they sell the no versions of them. and I am not saying that they even know they are doing this or maybe they do.

Actually I did check into the HO version but it was going to cost about 120.00 + shipping ( that is actinic + 6500 daylight + workhorse ballast ) and who knows how much to come across the border ???
The bulbs including ballast were 74.87 including GST and I got to test it to make sure it worked ( one bulb was mislabled actinic but was actually daylight ) and walk out the door with it  ... I am sure for what we are using it for it will be fine ... thanks for pointing that out thoughPS ... just so you know the 22" HO bulb is actually only 24W not 40W Cheers
