Best T5 Light fixture for 29g 30" aquarium

0812946 · 10/21/2009, 09:49 AM

I have a 29 gallon aquarium set up with liverock and macro algae to house a mandrin and I was looking for the cheapest and best T5 light fixture for this purpose. I would even be up for a retrofit kit if it is best... thanks

I bought the AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixtures w/ Lunar LED's from MarineDepot for my girls tank and I think is well made, one cord, moon light, Timer to control 420/460 , 700+ nm, moon light. The only problem that I had was that I wanted to buy the 30'' fixturefor her 29 gal but I could not find one, so I had to buy the 36'. At the end I think it was better because the 30'' fixture is only 96W and the 36'' is about 160W. Well this is just my opinion.

The absolute best would be a 24" ATI powermodule.

24'' ATI without the bulbs are $349, with $409-96W
