I'm trying to stay away from any of it to be honest. What would you think about getting 2 6500k bulbs for the dual (doing away with the 5000k) and removing the single bulb fixture?

Thanks, I've read that article before. Unfortunately it only lists the 36" model and you can see with other examples that the longer fixtures have increased par ratings. So that being said I'm sure I'm above what's listed on the chart.
Also it's saying I should be using c02 with that much...
I just have the cheap odyssea dual t5 Ho and I also have a single bulb t5ho fixture that comes on a couple hours a day around noon. So in theory I currently run 2 6500k and 1 5000k bulbs, and it's a 180 gallon.

I've had a couple outbreaks of this but it only seemed to grow on my water sprite and hygrophilla. I removed as much as I could by hand then trimmed back the affected plants by like 75 percent and altered my lighting schedule a little. No sign of it for a couple months and counting

If I go to a higher K value without dosing ferts or running c02 am I gonna run into algae issues?

I might just replace with the same but was curious if someone had some better options.

It's about time for me to replace the bulbs on my T5 Ho fixture. My tank is dirted and I don't dose or use c02. I currently run a 6500k and 5000k zoomed bulbs in it and was wondering if anyone would recommend anything different. I have good growth with what I use but was just curious of others...
There is no need to remove your fish to clean the tank. Vacuum the gravel, clean the glass, rinse filter media in tank water and you're done.
