comparison between MH vs. T5 Can you share your take on that topic?
Sure but not having MH I and not sure how much I can commit on them. Most of my Light comes from VHO's I have 2 54 watt T5HO for more arc.
As for what like you want to go with it will be determined by size of tank, what you want to grow, and if you have a chiller or not. If you want to focus on SPS have have fast growth then I would go with MH. If you have a deep tank then I would go with MH. MH will give you the most light but they are also very hot, take allot of power, and usually require a chiller. T5HO are nice for shallower tanks or tanks that do not require as much light as a pure SPS tank. They do not put out a lot of heat and they do not require allot of power.
I hope this helps
