Hi all,
I currently use a 72" MH fixture that is 3x150 watts at 6500k. The fixture is mounted 24" ABOVE a 72x24x24 (180 gal) tank.
I want to replace my current fixure with something with LESS light AND more options for choosing the # of bulbs used in a fixture. I know that I can just remove the bulbs I don;t want to use lol
I do not want to raise the fixture any more it looks kind of stupid so high up but am still getting min 75 PAR at the substrate!!!
I was thinking of T5s as they should provide a better more even spread and will grow anything I want.
I will miss the MH ripple but it is just too much light and way more than I need. I hate to think I spent so much on it 2 years ago! I was under the more light is better spell
Thoughts?
Appreciate any options.
