Lighting Question T-5's

[beachbumin]

I am currently running 2 65 watt pcs and am considering changing lights. I dont know much about the T-5's and was wondering if I switched to the 95 watt set up would I be going down in light or adding more? Basically I am open to suggestions so I anyone has any favorites Id love to hear about them. Thanks guys!

I have the Nova extreme T5, 216W.
If I understand your question:
You now have 130W, if you remove the 130W and only use one 95W, then you would be getting less light.

The Nova Extreme is the unit that they make for my tank size (24") I just wasnt sure if the T-5's emitted more light per watt or if that would be a step down. Thanks for the help!

Watts are Watts. The difference you will see is 10K/14K, they are different spectrums of light, more blue as you get the higher number.
