What is HO, is that short form for VHO? ALso how does T5 (whatever that is) compare to PC and VHO?
I'm starting to wonder if it really is necessary to get 220 watts over 55 gallons. 4 wpg is on the very high end of things but it seems an owner of a 48" tank doesnt have many options. Either two 96s, or four 55s right? Doesnt seem possible to run three 55's.
This is why I think two 96's might be better at 3.49 wpg than 220 at 4wpg. Am i missing something? One thing about two 96s is that it would not be as nice of a fit, but thats okay as my hood would hide the light and the 3-4 inches on either side that don't get teh direct light would be negligable.
