Joshlikesfish Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I found myself an exterior light for around $70. It is 1.2m long, has 2 T5 fixtures, a casing and is totally safe for above the tank. Only thing I am unsure about is the bulbs. They are 1.5cm diameter =/ Is that ok? Are all T5 like this? Is T5 good for growing plants? I'll be using the 6500K bulbs in it =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakaway Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Is it T5 or T5HO? Big difference between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 T5 I am guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
