I'm not sure that I (or others) understand your questions. Are you asking what combo of T5's would be equivalent to 400W metal halides @ 20k?
I'm not sure I have have the answer but want to clarify the question. I do have both MH and T5 setup on my tanks. I think that I can confidently say you will probably not get the PAR from any T5 setup that you would get from a 400W MH setup. If you elaborate, you may get some others to respond. Thx |
