I just bought a 36" zoo med t5 duel fixture and am wondering if anyone else has used these before??? How are they???
I had the 30" one just like yours. It is a pretty good light for the money. The reflectors aren't as good as the high end models but they're still pretty good. I gave it to my daughter for her tank when I went to very high light. It's still working well. About 1 year now so far. OS.
Yes. medium light plants like ambulia, wisteria, swords, and all the low light plants did well. Being medium light, you will need to dose CO2 or liquid carbon(like Excel) and have a good fert regime for best plant growth.
But there are lots of plants you can grow with it. Not just many colored high light plants.
Browse extraplant.com, azaquaticgardens.com, tropica.com, plantedtank.net for plant information profiles. Good luck. OS.
I have the 24 in on my 29g and believe i have medium light and i hafta use met and ferts to keep my plants going. i like the light but hate buying bulbs. I finally found a good site to get my bulbs for 3 dollars a peice.
