El Salvador Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I am looking to add some T5 lighst to my tank. If you have some used ones that would work on my 2' cube let me know. I want to add up to 4 lights for my tank. Let me know what you got and how much you are asking. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have t-5 and MH setups at home, me personally I would just run a single MH bulb on that, but just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Salvador Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 I am lost. I have a 400W MH in my tank... just looking to add some T5 for the days that it gets to hot to run the MH. So I don't need to use my chiller all summer long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 got ya, 400 in my opinion in that size tank is a bit much, but that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Salvador Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 I respect your opinion I respect your opinion and the opinion of others who have had great success with their system. I thank you for your ideas, but I made my system for 98% SPS only. My tank is a cube. 2’ and the canopy is 16” tall so I have lots of room for that size of a light. At first I thought the same thing and was using a 250W MH, but I was not very happy with the type of light it would put out. So I up grade to the single 400W MH and it works just great. Maybe you are right… Maybe I cooking my stuff. Thank you so much for your time Nyles. Have a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Most that run the 250 are running t-5 as well for supplement (actinics), I would not run them without on anything anymore after running without a year and a year with I have noticed differences.
