T12 VHO vs T5 HO

[gobytron]

I just complete building my first canopy and since I had an icecap 4 x vho retrofit I decided to throw them in there with my 2 X 250w hamilton reefstars...

Now for what amounts to a pretty small cost I can upgrade to 4 X 54w t5's but I am wondring if it's worth it.


I dont care too much about efficiency and heat is not an issue thanks to my dual fans so I'm just wondering if there is any real difference in par or phosphoresence....

I'm actually blown away by the "pop" that my vhos give and would be surpised if t5 could surpass them...

Again, with no consideration for efficiency does anyone have any feedback on this?


thank you kindly.

Goby.
