Hi everyone, now that my 55 gallon breeder has been cyclying for a few days, It's time to order the proper lighting for my tank.
As much as I'd love to buy some of the AquaticLife models, I simply can't afford it. I've been looking at Odyssea's models and will probally go with one of their setups. The question I had was which one?
I know i need at least 220w of light for SPS but I'm not sure which way to go. Should I just go with a complete metal halide system like
Odyssea Metal Halide System
Or should I buy two t5 HO fixtures like these
Odyssea T5 High Output Lighting
Odyssea T5 High Output Aquarium Lighting
I could combine the two t5 HO fixtures above and it will give me enough lighting.
What option would you choose? I'm not 100% certain on the differences between MH and t5 HO. Which setup would give me the most options in timing, color of lighting. and quality of light?
