So I am looking to upgrade the lighting on my 55gal for the current PCs. I was thinking MH but after a few conversations and some additional research I am starting to lean towards HO T5s. I am considering a six bulb fixture. My lighting knowledge is insufficient at best. Considering the size of the tank I have been told that the 6 bulb fixture would provide me the ability to have just about any coral I desire, at less cost, with less heat, and less energy required. I would loss the shimmer MH provide, but have read that adding some LED's could help add some shimmer.
Is this the way to or should I just jump in and get MH? Any input or opinions would be most helpful.
Thanks,
