I'm turning my 36G Freshwater into a planted tank (light to substrate distance = 24 inches), and just received this light to replace these existing led lights.
I was expecting to be "blown away" by how much brighter the T5HO were, but it wasn't anything drastic. Definitely brighter, and a different "hue", I like it much better absolutely.
But when they are both on, both the dual-bulb T5HO and my LEDs, the tank is BRIGHT.
Having both the T5HO with the LED at the same time, can this be done? Is it too bright? Too much light? Are there issues with this? Does this increase the PAR? Would I need more CO2/get more algae?
