well money is really tight over here. i olny found 20 in my walet. can we do the light for 20? im also interest in the sechem if we can do that for a total of 20 for both. i know thats extreamly cheap but i have no $$ to give u. LOL
they are expensive, but you dont have as many to replace. ive owned T5 and MH and i really dont believe the hype about T5. sure they are cheaper per bulb, but with MH you will only need 2 per tank(4’), with T5 you will need at least 4-6 so the replacement cost will be compareable. Also, you will only be able to keep high light demanding corals under “quality” T5 setups with a lot of bulbs. At 54W per bulb the energy savings isnt exactly mind blowing. The one thing that T5 does have over MH is color flexibiiity and they run cooler. You can really make your corals pop with the right color combinations. I guess it comes down to preference. Educate yourself before you jump on the T5 bandwagon!
Another thing that is rarely mentioned about T5 retros is how quickly the reflectors get dirty. I would wager that in most retro T5 setups people are getting less than 50% reflectivity becuase of this. If your going T5 its probably worth investing in a nice fixture but this will set you back as much if not more than a decent MH fixture or pendants. IMO there is nothing better than the color and shimmer that you get from a pheonix 14k MH bulb.
I can name something much better then T5s or MH and it adds $0 a month to you’re electric bill! It does run a little hot though. Especially if you live in low latitudes.
And if you can’t afford the blue filter thats what you’ll get. If you build a green house or sunlight in you’re house and run short on cash when it comes to a peice of plastic thinner then a sheet of paper you planned things out poorly. Took a lot of people too long to figure out this simple change.
