Vho


Im currently running the hamilton 48" system whith 2 T5's.
Im wanting to upgrade my lighting a little more.
I was thinking of staying with VHO and loosing the 2 T5's. and adding a additional 4 bulb vho system. so then i would have a total of 6 vho bulbs and could get a pretty good dusk to dawn setup.

My other option is to still loose the T5's but add 2 metal halides with my current Vho setup.

Any thoughts or suggestion

what size tank is this, and what are you planning on keeping in the tank? i prefer MH's because of the ripple water effect, but they do add some heat to the tank.
