I want to put a maxima in my 65 gallon, but its deep (24").
Ive got 6 36" HO t5's over my tank. Do you guys think this can be done? Just took the halides off, for the t5's.

Geeze... is that t5 only? Its awesome! But im still wondering about the t5's. I want somting along/just under the line of halide's. I like what i hear with the t5's, but so many people say different too. What do you guys think? Good choice (t5's)?

I have a maxima and crocea under VHO. They have always done well. With a proper amount, T-5 shouldn't pose any problems for clams.

Look CLOSELY at the pics posted.
You will see several clams in that tank.
T5's can do alot.

I have a Hippopus h. thriving under 324 watts of T-5 in my 55 gal.

I haven't tried any others yet.
