Wow, what a happy thread this turned out to be! Everyone agreeing with everyone,
lol! Right now I have 4 - 48" T12 (440w total), 2 white & 2 super
actinic. The tubes are retro'd to the top of the hood, there is a URI
ballast/ no timer, they all go on & off together.
ok, back to the thread...started watching the clown & saying "yeah, go into the anemone, do it, you'll love it, yes, choose the anemone, no don't swim away, dam!"
It's my understanding that the lighting is ok for corals (lots), fish (5). 140lbs
LR, so I can put the light lovers higher up in the tank. I have a maxima clam that has been under
T5's for 10 months. It was almost completely overtaken by nasty green zoo's & had to be cut from the
LR. So far it seems to be ok in the LSB, but it will go back to the top in a few days. I'll go with 2/2 combination, but is one brand better than another? Is this an item that price indicates quality? The Tricromatic says it contains "rare" earth trichromic phosphors, sales pitch or worth the extra cost?
