anybody got a good idea on the value of these t5s ? (also.. are they 39 watt or 54 watt per bulb.. since i dont see many 39 watt 48" t5s bulbs for sale)
I have a fowlr with a few softies, right now on 28 watts t5 strip light over a 150 gallon tank.. and since the sun isn't coming out as much I'm thinking of getting slightly better lighting while STILL maintaining a decently low power draw as well as not over-doing the lighting (I guess that is the reason i have very little algae growing).
Basically.. at 175ish, is it better to just get a cheaper, dual strip t5 .. at say big als, or save up a bit and try to get something else ?
Thanks in advance
