T5 vs power compact

[mcmusashi5]

whats the one that has the best look for the aquarium

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

go with t5, you can have a lot more corals in your tank.

 

[mcmusashi5]

what color does it shine

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

crisp white/blue, some light fixtures come with lights in them already. and some come with out and you can pick and choose what bulbs you would like. if you choose the ones with bulbs in them already. i would just use those until time to replace then change how you see fit.

you can cange the colors of the bulbs to get the color you want pc'a are very limited to what color of light you can get. and t5's with good reflectors will have double the light output compared to pc's

T5s also penetrate the water better....

There's no contest. T5s win, hands down.

I'm a little late, but T5's gets my vote too.
But I prefer and recommend a combo fixture. T5's & MH.
