your opinoins please

Hey guys,

I only have x2 t5 lights for my tank, and im always worried about what i put in and where i put it! saw this on ebay and just wondered what you opinoins were??? any input would be nice

4x24W T5 Lighting hanging lamp inst. of halide lamp 60 on eBay, also Lighting, Fish, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (end time 03-Feb-08 19:48:49 GMT)


theres also this one

Real light Halide lamp 1x150W+ 2x24W T5 blue 65cm 2ft bei eBay.de: Fish (endet 01.02.08 20:46:31 MEZ)

which one would be better??

 

My only concern is the plug and elec. being thats coming from germany.

 

oh it says on it it will fit the uk - plus its europe same voltage everywhere so that wouldnt be a problem, if it came with the wrong plug i could just change it

 

I would think the More wattage you can get the better so the second 1 IMO. But thats just me and I'm by far no expert.......yet

 

Just thought i'd bump this one more time - as im not sure if 4 t5's is better or one halide and 2 t5's?

 

Don't know what size your tank is because it is not in your signature but you can NEVER go wrong with MH's.

 

sorry - its 120ltr or 31 gallons (i think thats us gallons)
and 18 inchs deep

 

What are you planning on keeping in it?

 

I agree with Otty, you cant go wrong with MH's. But if you do decide to go with MH's, I would get any bigger than 150w bulb for your size.

 

well at the moment i just keep a few soft corals, but im always restricted to keeping them towards the top of the tank and aquascaping is difficult. I'd like to hope that maybe if i had powerful enough lights i could get a BTA

The MH im considering buying is a 150w and 2 24w t5's. Ok so im, assuming that this option is better then 4x 24w t5's?
