Hi everyone I have just fitted 2 reflectors to my t5 fixture does anyone have the chart thing to show me what light I am? Thanks rich
 
Well I don't know if there are multiple charts or not but this is the one I referr to when researching lighting: PAR vs Distance, T5, T12, PC - New Chart

With t5ho/t5 lights it seems that the strength of the light also relies heavily on the distance from the tank, so you can adjust to suit your fancey. C: If you ever want to dim them you can; raise the distance of the lights, add floating plants on the surface, use window screen to block the light.

Hope that helps!
