Ok. The husband has asked what I want for Christmas. And well I wanna redo my lighting on my 125 gallon tank. What I have is inadequate, an energy hog and hot. Currently I have 2x250w MH with Magnetic ballasts over the tank.
I am seriously thinking of switching to T5s. From my calculations I believe I should need 8x54W T5s. Am I right? Tank is 72 inches, how do I handle that? When I built my hood I built it with converting in mind. OR should I stick with MH and just change out the ballasts to Electronic ones and instead of 2 make it 3x250?
For T5 Where is the best place to get:
Ballasts
Endcaps
Reflectors
Are they hard to wire? I am pretty good at wiring things up but well I am by no means an expert.
Ok I think I asked everything. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
