What kind of lighting period does anyone reccommend for
T5 lights?
I plan to keep typical LPS and SPS and don't mind putting some more demanding ones up higher.
I am planning to use 6 54W
T5 bulbs on my standard 90 gallon tank (48"x18"x24"). These will be retrofit in the hood so they will probably be about 8" from the surface. I also plan to put a lens below them to make cleaning easy. I plan to start with half
actinic / half daylight and see how I like it. I should also have room to add two more bulbs if needed later.
So how many hours do the T5 users run the lights? And how is that doing for your stoneys?
I am interested in economy and figure I will upgrade to LED in a few years, but
T5 is a reasnable way to get started.
Thank you
