lots of good feedback, here is what i decided to do for now:

I already had 4 36" t5ho sunblaster reflector and ballast in 1, non-dimmable, so i figure i would just get 4 more at 48" and use the same brands 7 light plastic brackets to jold them by just resting them on my radions hanging. Throw them on a timer in the middle of the day when the radions are awake and i should be good.

So i added 4x 48 (54w) and 4 x 36 (39w) = 372 Watts of T5HO

the units were 55$ and 45$ respectively + bulbs, still not bad..

all i can say is, it is BRIGHT! lol

maybe overkill... i like the look though..








photos are way easier to get with this much even light, i like this combo..
