With my MH I think I want to add some T5's

[stlouisguy]

I havent seen how they perform. I really want to use them as acentic, but still get the performance at the same time

How wide are the fixtures? I have never seen them. How close can they be to my reflectors with my 400's in them? I would like to have the 4 400's over the tank, then run a 5' T5 down the outside on both sides and one down the middle of the tank

Opinions?

For actinic, I would go with VHO, not T5's. Big, big, big difference on the effects between the two bulbs.

Whats your best suggestion for 5 fters as I have never used acentic only mh
