Hi all
I have a 55gal freshwater with some medium light plants. I decided to try out a T5 because my led setup only had 16 bulbs and I don't think it was enough for plant growth in that little aquarium. Its a 4 foot fishneedit light with 4 6700 bulbs and it is way too bright for the room.
Will a T8 bulb hood (aqueous strip) provide enough light for these plants to thrive? Are there bulbs I can get fir the T5HO that will provide the spectrum necessary, but diffuse the brightness in the room?
Thanks!
Josh
