Debating which lights for new Ric tank

[Lance M.]

Hey guys I need some help to decide. I am going to set up a new 15 gallon or 20H in the next couple months, not anytime soon but not far away, so I'm thinking about which lighting would be best for ricordea. I'm looking at retros so I can make the canopy.

The two main options I'm looking at:

1. IceCap 24'' 2x 75 watt VHO retro. I'm thinking one Actinic White 50/50 and one Super Actinic Blue for the bulbs.

2. IceCap 24'' 4x 24watt T-5 HO retro. It's more expensive but if it's better I don't mind. Or I could go with the 2x 24 watt if 4 is too much.

Other Options-

3. I could always go with a 2x 65 watt pc fixture but I don't mind the other two choices if the color is better.

I'm looking at IceCap since it's good quality. Any other suggestions would be great.
