Usually, the practice is using MH + T5 combo.

The MH for simulation of day time with T5 usually in blue actinic for a night mode scenario.

Depending on how you want ur growth rate to be like.

You can use MH for 6 to 8hrs daily instead of 10hrs with T5 supplementing the other hours.

Happy reefing :)

What Are you keeping SPS? If so try T5HO..If Not i would suggest you to go LEDS..LEDS Is Exp At first In The Long run Really helps with the bill,Heat admission,Etc..Also easy to chage just unscrew certain Leds Like that..T5 Also good but you might Have some Heat+The Bill will only Drop a litlle from the MH Bill Bro..I Used to Use T5HOX2 Kaw Kaw Bill A Little high..after changing to Maxspect 160Watts x2 Really really it Has Droped alot..Hope this helped! ~~~Happy Reefing :)
