My 27g hex has the more exotic species of plants in it simply because its in my room and I like to look at when on my desk..
Anyway, I have 2x T5 Normal outputs 1 daylight 1 colormax, and 2xt8 floramax bulbs... I know watts per gallon is outdated but its 2.3 watts per gallon..
Also I already know pink bulbs are better then 65--6700k daylight bulbs for plants and yet people still recommend 6500-6700k for plants... But I wanted to share that my plants in the tank tend to curve to get directly under my T8 floramax purple bulbs.. vs the colormax/daylight t5... like literally I have them planted under the t5 which is positioned in the center of the tank, but they all curve to the front and back where the t8's are covering.... I think that kinda shows t8 or t5 the bulb is what matters most
Anyway I have 4 lights over my 27g hex.. note the tank is 25 inches tall
