Lighting Question

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

T8s overdriven by default with WH7...suprised nobody ask why T8s don't show up on the list of lamps that are usually driven by WH7. If you really want NO, then WH5. Here's the scope....WH7 is design to drive 4 T12s roughly 430-500mA of lamp current. T8s are design to run with 230ish mA. So...you'll be pumping in a bit more current than usual. Effectively, the WH7 thinks it is driving a long T12 (8 foot).

So yah...PCs or T8s ? Well....kind of up to you. It is impossible to tell since it comes down to setup and light reflector design. As long as your tank doesn't look like Big Al's...where mushrooms bleach due to lack of light...you'll be fine.
