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

The Atlanta aquarium uses 14 1000 watt bulbs,and even 400 watt bulbs are rare.Outside of those 2 applications there is nothing a t-5 cant do in aquarium applications.Sodium vapor is sometimes used in aquariums but I personaly have never seen one over a tank or seen a bulb for them listed for sale.We are not comparing apples and oranges,we are comparing apples and hand grenades lol.
