![]() As the tittle says I am in consideration of witchin to t5 on my 46 g sps tank. A bit about the system it 46g with a sump with about 15 g of water. I am using the zeovit system witch has given me extrodanery results. The main reason that I would like to switch to t5 from metal halides is because 1-less heat, 2-IME nicer colors and 3-the look of the fixturs is more sleek looking than DIY halides hood with 2 t5. I have a few questions about t5's.
1-for my tank system how many bulbs should I go with 4,6,8? 2-will my growth plumit or go up? 3-advantages and disitvantages of t5's? 4-how long should they be on daily? 5-will I lose color? 6-do all the bulbs go on and off at the same time? 7-witch is the best fixture. 8-witch bulbs to use/configuration?(aquablue...) the ones I am considering are the following few. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ID=sl-t5tl3606 http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...eme-Pro-36%22/ (if it comes in 36")http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...-48%22-8-lamp/ (if 4 is sufficent)http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...36%22---4x39w/ Thanks, Miki
