So it's time I upgraded the lights on my 56 gallon tank since I want to plant it. As of right now it has two T8 lights, one daylight and one designed for plants. However as this is a 24" deep tank, they don't do much. I've grown some java ferns and an onion bulb but that's it. I want to get up to medium light, and I plan on supplementing with dry ferts and liquid co2 (glut). I have found a T5HO on eBay for around $100 and a LED on amazon for around $90.

Which do you think would be the better option? I'm leaning to the t5 so I can adjust the bulbs to suit my needs, but I'm iffy on buying a 'cheap' brand. Give me input!
