Yo everybody! Thx for checking this thread out. Got a situation,hope ou guys can help. Goes like this: Got a 2xFL housing for my 30"x15"x15" tank. want to keep mainly LPS,got 4xmini-fan set blowing at my tank. To upgrade to 4xT5 costs $300+. With that cost,i believe should be able to get a 150w MH+PL actinic set(right?). But concern is will Temp rise out of control,no chiller. Pls advise. Thx!! :P:P:P

If no chiller, my advice is go for the T5s. T5 tubes prices has drop drastically making them more viable for reefing especially if you are intending to keep LPS.

However, without chiller, you have to ventilate your tank top properly to achieve the temperature required coz T5s can heat up your water though not as much as MH.

Untouchable is selling his 6 T5 set for 250 in sale forum.

It's very good buy for you and believe very suitable for your case. You might consider.
