T-5's compaired to PC'S

[BigHack2006]

are t 5s as good or better than PCS? and how many t 5s would you need to equill it out or vice versa? also looking for MH retro kit

[calebjk]

i got t-5HO bulbs and i like them, but for your tank i'd recommend either going with a MH kit or t-12VHO, hellolights has some pretty good prices on retrofit kits for either of those options.

[musty baby]

Do you plan to build the system yourself or are you looking for an assembled system from the get go?

[musty baby]

Oh, and t5s with parabolic reflectors are a good deal more efficient than t5s.

If you get good t5s with a good reflector and good ballast you can grow sps and keep clams.
