MH or T5's???????

[cjcoopertag]

So I have a chance to get either and wated to know what everyone thaught. I currently have a 75gal and I am either adding more t5's or going with MH. What do you think? Keep in mind that I would like to be able to have clams...Thank You.

Both will work well for a 75. If you want the shimmer, then halide is what you want to do. However, halides really heat the water, so if you want to make sure you won't need a chiller, then T5s are the way to go.

though if you're like me and keep your house at 70* year round a fan could be enough. I run MH on my 75 and use a 6 inch desk fan blowing across the lights and water and it keeps my tank under 80.
