Audi0s said:Yes, but what about heat, and cost to run? With 2 4 bulb fixtures running I only saw an increase of 15-20 per month max. And T5s have flexible color combos, although MHs does as well, depending on light temp correct?
Yeah for mh k determins the color, 10k white-20k blue. I just thought one of those cheap clip on 150w mh lights would be good for a frag tank. Operating cost arent that bad with 1 - 150 mh. If only for frags no need to worry about all the differ bulb combos you can have with t-5, it would only be to grow out frags so a 10, 12 or 14 k would be fine. As for heat a 150 watt prob wouldnt cause heat issues , if the frag tank is tied in to the main system like most are. if it did you could always do a reverse light period than the display. I think someone on here posted a 150 clip fix from amazon or somewhere for like a 100 or so.
Wow you t-5 people love hatin metal halide ;D Ill admit t-5 does make the corals look awesome, but you have to give the mh its due.
And salt4life , im not sayin mh is best choice either , just sayin its an option
