nqh71 Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 depends on your budget. Meaning? Is there very much difference in the price... Anyway, in terms of brightness, is it comparable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member woonming Posted September 20, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2003 i would strongly go for ATi ...T5 1)As it would cost less when it comes for blub replacement. 2)Ur monthly electrical bill would be cheaper each month due to the difference in watts. As 4 x 36 watts = 144watts . And 3 T5 at 39watts each = 117 which u could pack them into the PL housing u are using.. 3)Edmund would sent them to ur door step. 4)Using Blueplus would gives u the actinic effects ..which u could do away with PL or FL actinic as they dont contribute in coral growth but Blueplus would. 5)Less heat when comparing with 4 X 36 watts. 6)Longer life spans..

SRC Member Sinn Posted September 30, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 30, 2003 nur, cute baby.. i though abt the same thing last time, whether to use 2 X 36W or 1 55W, somehow decided to go for 2 X 36 as there is more 'spread' and of course higher watts then 55W..
