Advantage of T5


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

I currently have a 3ft (50G) FOWLR.

i am using 36W X 2 PL Lights

Since i cannot afford a chiller, using a fan.. but still can maintain 27-28 deg temprature

I wanted to ask would it be better if i switch to T5 lights...

I have heard they are more energy efficient & brighter...

I have some cheatoes in a betta box.. but seems to be not growing.. maybe cause the light isnt that bright...

Will it increase the temperature?

Has anybody done any research on T5 lights as compared to PL lights.

:thanks:

If yours is FOWLR, you don't really need T5 also.

Hi Thexder,

Thanks for the reply...

Does it mean PL lights would be good enough for my cheatos?

Since my PL lights are old... i have to decide if i should buy PL lights or should upgrade to T5...

PL should be enough. But why don't you post a picture of your tank so that we can have a better idea to comment?
