So my 12g is up and running, I have a t12 or t8 light fixture that is 18 watts currently on it. I was looking at ebay and came across this t5 fixture,
Solarmax brand (I have a light fixture of this brand already, and they are ok so far) 20" light fixture with one 8w T5 bulb, at 10k.
Do you think it would be a better light.. Would the t5 8w bulb produce the same as the 18w I have or more? The substrate is about 10-12inches from the top of the tank, and the fixture would be sitting on my glass canopy like my current one..
Tell me what you all think.. I could buy it and use both fixtures.. Or that may be pushing it. I was going for a lowish-med tech tank, but closer to a med tech.
