Hey guys,
Are there any general recommendations for the brightness of the lamps? What I want to make now is a simple T5 fixture. I am in a process of remodeling it for the tank. I will put the fluorescent lamps there. Who can explain me the brightness from the lumens? Now about the tank. It will be 60 gallon tank with corals and fish.
thanks
I checked these lamps for the brightness. https://www.mrosupply.com/lighting/b...lham-lighting/ I can say that these lamps give a lot of light. I can not solve how much light will be enough for my tank. I’m afraid it can cause some problems with plants. Guys, if you are experienced in the tank light, can you recommend anything?
Look into ATI T5's or Giesemann T5 bulbs. Better suited/made for SW aquariums. They range in different wattages. But more importantly is the Par, Pur and Kelvin of the bulbs.
