Hi all,
you may have seen my post about the T5 lighting. I am looking to upgrade to a 75g tank. I was thinking about using T5's with half actinic and half white, but I noticed this fixture below.
http://www.current-usa.com/sunpod.html
Its 2x150w 14K MH lighting. I know that the overall watts will be less thatn the T5 fixture that I was looking at, but isn't MH lighting overall better?
Will I be ok to cover most corals and maybe a clam with no actinics, or should I stay with the T5's and just assume that I can not have high light species.
I can not consider a MH/PC combo for 2 reasons
1- Cost
2- power ineed to keep the current draw for the lighting at 4amps or less.
Thanks
John
