T5 is more efficient than PC. Which one is it?

i think he means the HO T5s as compared to the normals which are common on freshwater tanks. and yes, they are much more affective, however, i would get more lighting seeing how your tank is so deep. get a few more bulbs.

thought i`d need some extra lighting with the tank been so deep......
