ahchris Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 54W would be more ideal than 36W Use LED to create that effect lo. Adding a few PAR38 can achieve that le. But your wave got to create surface turbulence before that effect can be seen. There won't be enough spread for a 3 ft t5 light fixture to cover a 5 ft tank and if u hang higher to get the spread, it won't have enough punching power into the water. I would go for at least 54w or 80w fixture. Thanks for the opinion guys. I think i will save up to upgrade a better lighting fixture.

Edison Wong Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hi guys, need your opinion on lighting fixture. 1) Dymax Metal Halide 150W X 2 + T8 40W X 2 2) DE Lightings T5 39W X 8 I have these 2 lighting fixture but don't know which one to use. Current plans is just to keep some zoas and fishes. I would choose t5 X 8, imo mh is too hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahchris Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Heard about the Madpetz Crazy Moving Out Sale. Went down take a look and It was so crowded. Good to know that they are moving to Gambas. Finally something for us reefers living in the Woodlands. 1 Quote Zoas Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
