So i'm going to be upgrading from a marineland 27g cube to a Deep Blue edge 60g cube soon. I've been using a Current 4 bulb t5ho with ati bulbs over the 27g for the past year, and i'm not sure if it'll be enough for the 60g cube. I'm considering a 6 bulb t5ho, but finding it to be way more $ then i want to spend.
Let's say i want the light to grow everything, which i'm doing now. I'm seeking advice on alternative fixtures that i'm not seeing that are not MH or LED (i want to stay t5/t5ho) that won't break the bank. Would i need a 6 bulb, or 8 bulb t5ho, or can i go t5. Would the 4 bulb t5ho be enough, or would it for the sake of saving $ be better i use the 4 bulb t5ho fixture, and just buy a 2 bulb t5ho fixture, and have both on the tank.
Even thought about a regular 6>8 bulb t5 shop light/indoor grow fixture hanging over as well. I would love to stay below $200- if possible.
