you obviously never used hqi's they have a natural shimmer color t5ho's can't recreateDoubt it...
If you are particular about color choose T5HO for more options.
you obviously never used hqi's they have a natural shimmer color t5ho's can't recreate
plus they make them in a wide array of color temperatures the only one i can think of that they dont have is 9325k but who need sthat hwen you can get 8000k
a 10,000k hqi looks better than a 10,000k CF any day of the week
thats true im not really comparing the two im just saying 9325's are the only color temp you cant get in HQI. I personally prefer 8000k because its the best of both worlds. if you can ge a plant nice and red via good light and fertilization you'll still totally notice it with a 8000 kI love 9325s but 8000k looks nothing like them. not even close. 9325s are known for the way they highleds redplants, and 8000k bulbs wash out the reds.
so does that mean that if you're growing plants that require high light at about 4wpg with HQI's, you would need less wpg with T5 HO's? I don't know enough about the different systems and I don't want to get stuck on a certain lighting system when I'm choosing one for my next tank, so bear with me.CF lights are more energy efficient than metal halides
hmmm...your funny.you obviously never used hqi's they have a natural shimmer color t5ho's can't recreate

So do you think that HQI's are more efficient than CF's, also, here's a dumb question-what's looped into the CF category? Is it just CF's and Halides and it branches from there?Compact fluourescent are not what I would call efficient. Try again.
There is a 9325 and a 6700 on the fixture.its your personal pref but I love hte look of hte 9325. They even makes greens look better. IF you think its too pink tho, then mix it with a 10k or 6700. Many people do feel its a bit pink and mix them with either of those too and love it. Jsut a suggestion :tea:
