I just purchased a Dual 48" T5 54w setup and plan to mak a dual T5 MH hood. First off would two 175watt MH be sufficient with the T5's on a 55G? Second, what K ranges should I get for either set of bulbs. I have unfortunately never seen a MH system in person, but I have heard of some greenish bulbs, and I don't think I would like that. Should I use 2 actinics for the T5 or one Actinic and one sunlight? I don't have any particulars as far as inhabitants yet, I just want to make sure not to completely limit myself when I do decide. As far as the refugium, would it be better to have the pump leaving the refugium or entering? I am assuming the pump would probably kill most pods and such leaving the refugium. Am I correct in that? Thanks in advance for at least reading this post as well as any answers that may come my way.
