T5 Lighting for a 50 gallon

[dpfitness23]

Im looking for a t5 lighting unit that produces 3-4 watts per gallon. I looked online couldnt really find anything. Either one that goes on top of the aquarium or one that hangs obove. Regular 50 gallon rectangle tank. Going to be a heavy planted tank with c02 unit

WPG doesn't really work with t5 lighting. A basic 50g tank would do well with a high quality dual t5ho fixture. Here's a nice chart to look at to get an idea of where to start.

Go to www.fishneedit.com and look at their 4ft (2 or 3 bulb) units is my recommendation.

Go to eBay. I just got my t5 4 bulb 260watt lights with moon LEDs for $130, free shipping. I am receiving it Friday, hopefully it'll work! Lol
