YAY.. Tax refund = new tanks =D Boo.. stuck on sorting out lighting. I am torn between T5 and LED. Want to do mix of both down road. Has anyone had any experience with T5's like these. I see them a lot on Ebay and Amazon these days? http://www.amazon.com/2x24w-Actinic-Fixture-Aquarium-Light/dp/B00BI817EG/ref=sr_1_19?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1364157936&sr=1-19&keywords=T5 Decent or run away? Or would it be best to go with a fixture like this: http://www.fishneedit.com/t5ho-3ft--2lamp-aquarium-light.html from Fishneedit? I do plan on learning LED construction and making a supplement to accompany my T5 for max color and growth. Although part of me says "just buy the bloody DYI kit and sort it out ya lazy fart". We both plan on getting shallow tanks. I am leaning towards a Mr. Aqua 12 long (35.4x8.3x9.4) and Hubby is looking at an ADA 60-F (24x12x7) So with them being so shallow we will only need 2 bulbs in a T5 fixture for both tanks correct? Which fixture would be best to start off with? Best color choices for bulbs? Hubby is wanting to sump his tank.. but thats a whole other post which I will make once he gives me list of questions he wants asking. Want to nail down lights first.
