I'm still trying to understand (and remember, LOL!) all the differences between all the different bulbs, I've only scratched the surface so I'm still learning a lot - I haven't heard of alot of these bulbs yet lol.
(For 29g high, amazon swords, crypts, anubis, lily, vals, sags, micro swords, grass - once all the plants have grown in or finished growing in)
But I'm thinking that it sounds like 2 T5's - colormax - (I have no idea if they have letters after them ) will be better for the plants than the two T12's I've got now?
Yes?
Even though they have a few fewer watts, they work better so their suppose to be better?
And just might be slightly cooler maybe? or at least not hotter?
Also, how often would the T5's need replacing?
I keep reading for plants your suppose to replace bulbs every 6 to 9 months, but if that is not necessary it seems wasteful?
Thanks for all the help y'all.
And secondly, I had just spent a lot of ... work and such making the fixture for the 2 T-12's, do you think it would be ok to adjust this for a 10g?
Would that be too much, or, well???
