Okay, i just bought a GHL profilux profiset 2 for my new 90g build (see reef discussion). I want to use a 24" twin 24w T5 strip to run in conjunction with my 2X 150w M/H's. The T5's will probably be just standard octopus ones. If i buy a twin dimmable ballast and change that for the standard ballast on the octopus T5, and add a dimmable ballast control board to my profilux controller is that all i need to do? I want the T5's to gradually wake my tank before the M/H's come on and to see the tank into the LED moon lights when the M/H's switch off.
Also im not happy with the blue end of the spectrum that my 1400k M/H bulbs are emitting, so was thinking about changing to 2000k's. How will that effect my coral growth? The new system will include sps.
What bulbs would you fit the T5's with? bearing in mind the fact that they will be on for a couple of hours before the M/H's andif it makes a difference, with the M/H's during the day.
Sorry for all the questions, im pretty new to T5's and obviously want to get the best light in my tank for the money.
Thanks in advance, Mark.
