another lighting question

[tjone2008]

I have a tank that is going to be set up next weekend. I was wondering if a t5 light would be strong enough. 5 bulbs at 39 watts apiece. The tank they would go over is 2 feet deep. The new tank has a low profile canopy that i like the look of and would be a PITA to try to use my current lighting of a hanging 250 watt halide and 2 39 watt t5 atinics.

Depending on what you want to keep, and the quality of the T5 bulbs and reflectors, YES.

See the discussion about yesterdays presentation, very relevant. (I hear Delta will be posting his notes in a bit).
