Changing MH ---- T5

[Pedro Barbuto]

Hi,
I have a 50g - SPS tank with a MH 250w 20k Giesemann.
I want to switch to T5.

Display: 39 in x 20 in x 15 in (h).

I want to know how many T5 (and wich watts) can I use to have at least the same results that I have with my MH.

Thanks a lot
Pedro

A 6 bulb ATI sunpower or powermodule would be best. Tek has a decent 6 bulb also. A 36" fixture will do, the bulbs are 39w each.

the bulbs are 36w not 39w. For you tank a 4 bulb fixture should be more than sufficient considering your tank width and height.

36" T5HO bulbs are 39w.
