Some I don know the name. For yr current livestocks, it's enough....but for better growth...MH...perhaps when u upgrade yr stocks or tank. But if use MH, then must get chiller...if not u end up having soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyBoy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Should be enough. Another 2x24W would be nice. What's your tank depth? Quote Member of : UEN: T08SS0098FMASS in Facebook Reefing in LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
successnowhere Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi RokyBoy, if I add another 2 x 24w T5 tube will it be too much? Total after added in will be 6 x 24w for a 2ft tank. How abt if I replace the 2 x 24w 12k daylight to a better quality tube? Any recommendation?
