What could i grow?

Odyssea T5 Aquarium Lighting

I am interested in this T5 light? What corals could i have with this? Is it a good light? I have a 30x15x21 bow front 36 gallon

 

NOPE! that was my first t5 light. COMPLETE JUNK! The bulbs will grow you ALOT of algae and kill even soft corals.

 

ok.2x24watt HO T5 Nova Extreme
Is this any better?

Very Very nice tank. I think i will get the light now.

 

you might not have realized he has ATI bulbs in his fixture. So if you want the results he is getting you will have to upgrade the bulbs(and replace them both ever 8-12 months)

ATI bulbs are around 20-25$ each. So just figure in $50 to initial purchase. And then $50 a year after that.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. So i can start off with the bulbs that come with it then upgrade later?

 

Yeah for the first couple months I had my fixture I had one, half dead white bulb. I have Blue Plus and Aquablue Special ATI bulbs now. Makes a world of difference.

 

OK thanks a lot. This has been really helpful for me.
