Lighting ?'s

[vinhjamin8302]

Hey guys me again!, i've been searching around the local ads and ran across a JBJ 36" PC 2x96, i was wondering if this was gonna be sufficient light to run some beginner corals(mushrooms, xenia, etc) Oh and its only 65 bucks! I figured to get it anyways since it was so cheap, I also ran across a Marineland T5HO 48" deluxe w/ 2-54 daylights and 2-54w actinics, would i be better off with this in my DT, then again my DT is only 30in wide, i was contemplating on gettin them both, by the way the 48" is only 100 bucks, any and all advice will be great!!:)

I think your better off with the T-5s,even if they do over hang the tank some.

T5s over PCs any day.

Agreed,T5-HO over PC's.

Both fixtures will be good for what you want to keep,the T5's even more so.Check the bulbs for whatever fixture especially the PC.They wearout quicker(10 months) versus T5(18 months).
