T5 supplement

[gzr918]

Looking to blast my tank with more light. I have 3 165w viparspectras over a 125 and want to add a retrofit t5 in, what would anyone recommend for that? And what specific wattage? Thinking about a 2x54 w kit

Following along. I want to add two t5 to my tank to get more violet and blues in.

I am thinking that will up par and sparkle to the corals.

Do you have pictures in mine? Are they going to be together in front or behind the leds?

You can try two 80w 5 feet t-5, both actinic. Hope this help.

Thats a good amount of LED wattage. Two five foot t5's will be a nice addition for sure. I'm having a good experience with LED/ LET retro kit (4 bulb) but it is a grind to wire to it if your a paper pusher like me...
