T5 lux question...
I'm a little confused about lighting. I was under the idea that for a reef tank you would want at least 4 watts per/gal, and the reason I'm confused is that I was told by a reputible lfs owner that when it comes to "T5" lights wattage doesn't matter as much as lux.
So my question is: does anyone know what the lux would be for a 36" Tek light with 6 bulbs, compared to a 260watt PC fixture? The order of bulbs is 2 outsides are 460nm, and 4 inside are 20k, they are all aquatinics bulbs if that helps. ... Oh one more question: should I use the 36" T5 for my 90, or get a 48" MH with T5's as I'm now getting into sps corals?? Thanks in advance for any and all info |
