help me combined T5

Good afternoon,

Fresh Water: For plants you only need 6500 and 4000 Kelvins.

I know Tropica only use 6500 K but believe me when i said that red plants (For instance Althernhantera Reinecky Mini ) do need 4000 / 4200 K.

So you can choose along these spectrum range. No harm done if you have more than this (till 8000 K) but this two are really needed. More thna 8000 k are not acurate for fresh water but only salt.

Best regards
 
I would buy a set of two T5 bulbs. One of 6500 K and a another with 4000 or 4200 kelvins.

i don´t have study Those on the links you mention.

As your tank is 58 along i would choose a set of two T5 of 24W with 55 cm long

Or choose a Led unit according to those 58 cm and the kelvin range i mention.

Yes it is. After you will only need to watch/study - the photoperiod time and how close or how far away to the top of the water they should be set.

That will come along in time by watching plants behaviour acording to fertilization and if you have CO2 injection also.

Best regards.
