T5 ho q?

[mallorieGgator]

Are there any SPS that can be grown successfully with a Current T5 HO fixture? Just curious.

 

[Allmost]

did you mean current USA fixtures ?


SPS grows under T5 Ho.

Current USA's reflectors are crappy, so I use 8 bulbs on a 65G ! I'm sure if I had good reflactors withan ATI fixture, I could have go the same results using 6 bulbs

you should be able to all sps if they are near the top

+1 Keep them near the top and they should be fine.

Although the reflector may not be top of the line, if you change out the bulbs to like ATI's or Gieseman you will have much better PAR. That being said, you can still keep SPS with your Current-USA fixture and bulbs.

Thanks! I'll be changing the bulbs. They are a few years old.
