New t-5 lighting.....

[kano5003]

Hi i am planing to get t-5 lighting. First ill post on here and tell you about it its a t-5 x4 tubes of 39 watt each tube. I have an anenome and 2 small light corals and the aquarium is 4ft. The t-5 system has got 2 on/off switches. Please give as much help as possible as this light system is only AU$135.00. Thanks.

Does it have individual reflectors for each bulb? If not, the fixture isn't maximizing the potential that T5 HO has.
4' T5 HO bulbs are typically 54w -- are you sure it's a 4' fixture?

No there all in one reflector so there is 4 tubes in the reflector thanks.

I need some info im guessing this is a good idea.

try looking it up online

If it doesn't have individual reflectors, I wouldn't waste my money on it. T5 HO lighting is what it is because of the individual reflectors.

I can either get this light system or a reef octupus one with 2 tubes that are 59 watt each i like the 1st one better.
