ok ya see its in my bedroom i never have had a problem with the tank getting hot just the room. So i have no clue about t5s??? lol ya i had the reef tank and loved it with the mh!!!
I need something that is going to look clean and nice seeing that it has no hood to put it in and i cant hang them. I may look in to building a hood but its a bow front so i know its going to be tuff!!!
Thanks for yalls help if you know any idea for lights that would be so awesome!
I have the linkable T5HO unit, on my 56g, that way upgrades are easy and inexpensive. I love the lights, they do not transfer heat at all, and are plenty bright enough, each unit has a reflector and two bulbs. The unit is so lightweight that the legs they come with actually work. On my MH unit the legs would not hold it, I had to hang it. However T5s do not make the MH shimmer dancing on the water effect. If I ever have to replace my MH unit on the 90g, I will do the linkable T5HOs
I like the linkable, that way if something goes wrong I replace that section instead of getting a whole new unit. One 2 bulb unit link costs (depending on size) $119.00 to $150.00
Compared to the cost of even a single compact at $400.00...that's awesome to me.
