I recently bought a 24" Oddysea dual T5 light. I was using three CFL bulbs in metal dome lights but wanted something less space consuming. My tank is a 29 gallon high and the water is 16 inches deep. My tank has a mixture of low, medium, and high light plants. They were doing great with the CFL's. Now that I switched to the dual T5 they are suffering. My moneywort and ludwigia are getting leggy and loosing their lower leaves. My ludwigia has also lost its' red color. I knew the light wasn't the best but I actually like the fixture. I am wondering if new bulbs would help or should I have ordered the quad fixture. Everything I could find said dual T5 would put me at medium to high light but it obviously didn't. I am going to be setting up another tank in the near future and could use the dual on it and get another light but wonder if I should still get new bulbs. Would that make any difference in the light quality.
