May 29, 200521 yr comment_51329 oh was it just the bulb holder its self or the ballast as well Report
May 29, 200521 yr comment_51383 This is a good topic i'm in Hamilton and want to convert to MH. Why do those setups have the bulbs in them also? Are they known as T5's the ones Jansens and the like use on their big display tanks? Is it to provide a more even spread of light, colour spectrum, both, or something else? Let me know how you get on slappers Report
May 29, 200521 yr comment_51391 t5's are the skinny tubes about the thickness of your finger and long like conventional flouro but the convetional ones are much thicker. they have the flouros in for two of the reasons you mentioned. colour spectrum and light spread. are you planning Mh lighting for your planted tanks luke?
