Hi,
My new tank is 101cm x 50cm(D) x 70cm(H) it comes with 4 x 30w T8 bulbs, i know for a planted tank T8's aint ideal especially with a height of 70cm.
so heres my question,
would replacing the bulbs with 4 x T5's provide enough light at the substrate to grow demanding plants? or is the tank just too deep to get sufficient light with T5's?
Or
should i try go the route of 3 x 20 LED floodlights?
i know its hard to give an exact answer and i know people will say its CO2 that's the demanding factor in growth but what would people opinion be on this?
