Default Re: Minimum Amount of Light Watts/Gal Required?

metal halie producing the bluer spectrum is what i was getn at, mh=vegitation growth...

that was a print out on a supplier i use for our indoor gardens, we supply for a couple farm/gardens...

MH=vegitation
HPS=bloom

t5's are great lights, dont get me wrong, or get "punchy" because someone has a different approach...

I personally wouldn't expect much from t-5's in my reef set up... just not enough penetration..

I use my t-5's for seedlings and it works for that but not much else, i pull the big guns out for results, HID's...
