T5 HO verse metal halide?

[nemogonecrazy]

what would you suggest for a tank that will be running lps and softies..do the t5 ho's create glitter lines?

T5s dont create the shimmer effect that MH do but T5s would do a good job for an LPS and softy tank.

I like both. I have a 150 HQI and 5 T5's with a mix of blue, actinic and white. You'll get the glitter lines and intensity of halide with the coverage and colors of T5's.
