T5's are thin fluorescents. Your "typical" fluorescents are the T15's, then there are T8's which are a bit thinner, and then these T5's are thinner yet. HTH

Typical fluorescents would be T12s, and in my inderstanding T5s are the same thickness as Power Compacts. Just as an aside I understand that as thickness decreases lumens per watt increase, and also heat increases.

For sure, but it raises some questions such as the wattage of the tubes, and the number of them used on the tank. Along with the tank dimensions.
