T5 Questions

[Cathic]

There's been a huge upswing in business for these guys recently I hear. Looking to get these 48in for my new (hopefully) 75 tank. Is it worth it, or should i just go for a MH setup instead? Price is a fairly influential factor but i don't want to risk a nice tank just to save a little on some lights.

Looking at these Odyssea T5 High Output Lighting

Hope the performance i could expect from these are worth the low costs.

Thanks for the input.

EDIT: For Lights and Protein skimmer + Shipping totals only $156 for real O.O

If you're going with a 75 gallon tank I would recommend a light with more wattage. May be a MH/T5 combo light.

You'll need more light than what you linked to Cathic.The ones David linked to,would be great though.

>.< I looked at those, I was afraid that is what i would need, the T'5's can have 2 Ballast mounted on a single tank. Thanks though, I guess it'll take a little more saving for the lights then.
