[boumshaka]

Which of these two his better... 4x24W t5 ho or 2x65W power compact? This is for a 22" deep 25 gal. nano reef. Thanks.

T5.

 

[reefer96]

T5 for sure

Which t5 fixture do you plan to use? That has a big impact on performance.

The T5's are better if you have individual reflectors for each bulb. You can keep any corals under them if they are this type of set up. Also, they tend to last a little longer (up to a yr.), and they are less expensive to replace.

I would say the HO T5's are better regardless of reflector in comparison with PCs. Just my experience.
