KK :) Hi KK, from my own experience, T5 is sufficient if your tank is a FOT. For corals, even T5HO is not enough for most species. You will get far better result by using HQI :) | |

The depth of my reef tank is 16" & keep soft coral, ex: 草坡、菇、千手、皮革、etc. I am using 5 no of T5. The result is just ok. I am planning to change to use T5HO. | |

Posted by: leven Posted on: 2004-07-15 10:59 My tank is 48" x 18" x 24" (L x W x H) and I'm using 1 x T5 (20 watts daylight) and 2 T4 (blue). Plan to add in 2 more T5 daylight. but if its not really good for coral.. I will change to MH. So just want to know that will T5 HO enough for a coral tank? or better change to MH. Thank you so much!!! KK :) | |
