Hey guys,
I upgraded to a 96g Tank a while ago, so I'm in the process of upgrading my lights. I currently have 2 T5 tubes. I cannot even remember what the K ratings are. Its 1 blue and 1 white, both with reflectors.
I dont want MH because of the distance they have to be from the water and the heat they transmit.. and the price ofcourse.
Neway, I thought I'm gona make my new hood to support 6 T5-lamps with reflectors. Starting out with 4. How successful will this be ? What kinds of corals will I not be able to keep happy ? What lamps do u guys recommend I should put in (K, manufacture, ?). I looked at the T5's they got over at www.dorrypets.co.za, does anyone know what manufacture they are ?
Atm I have an open brain, mushroom polys, finger coral... all of them seems to be really happy with only 2 T5 lamps, so I guess the new light setup will me a good improvement ?
Thanks !! - happy to see that the new web host is up a running
