I have a question for you all. If I ran a 216w T5 setup along with a 220w VHO supplemental light, could I keep an Anemone?

what is the size of your tank?

 

[caz2022]

Oops. Its a 75 gal

 

[caz2022]

YEAH!!!!! My new lights just arrived. Damn I didnt realize T5s were so small.

What type of nem. On a 75 you really need 6-8 bulbs for a new but certian type I think will be fine under 4.

A friend of mine has a real nice bubbletip that hes willing to give to me. Hes had it for a few years. Its grown so much its all but lost the round ends. He has it under 250w MH in a 90.

Not sure I would do a bta under a 4 bulb fixture

Im actually running six bulbs. I have two 110w VHOs running behind the T5 setup.

 

[robertmathern]

hmm do the vho have decent reflectors on them. If so you could try your luck

 

[caz2022]

just the standard ones that come with a regular light-its a retro fit job. The bulbs supposedly dont need reflectors but i used it anyways
