T5 info please
I have been out of the loop for awhile. From what I am seeing, T5 is the way to go. I would like if someone could tell me why or how these are better than power compact, MH etc... and what I need to know when I go to buy some....ie how to know how many, or how many watts I need etc...
Thanks a bunch!!! |

Me too! Me too! I'm hearing that I should go with T5's instead of Power Compact to supplement my metal halide. I'm having trouble finding good info out there comparing PC to T5's.

well, t5ho are so much better than pc is, and as far as MH, well, a proper t5ho setup can actually have more PAR than a mh lit tank.
t5ho uses a lot less watts than pc, and a lot more PAR than pc, as well as the bulbs last 12-18 months, and pcs last 6 months or so.
