Hi,
I am thinking of switching from MH to T5 lighting for my 200 gallon with dimensions ~ 7' x 2' x 2'. The only reason I am currently on MH is because my dad used these for his saltwater set up (my freshwater tank is very new). I was thinking of getting this home depot T5 fixture https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.4-ft-4l-t5-high-output-high-bay.1000732913.html which fits 4 bulbs. However, I am unsure whether a 4 foot fixture is sufficient for a 7 foot tank. I'm also unsure of how many, and what watt T5 bulbs i would need. I am looking to grow high light plants as I am currently fert dosing and injecting CO2. Any help would be appreciated.
