    Final Suggestions needed! T5 users

    ya i guess im stuck between the 6 or the 8 bulb fixture. If 6 will do the job then i have no need for the 8 bulb, but if 8 will give me better growth then i will have to consider that. Hanging is also the problem, the sun lift light hanging kit is only good for 22lbs it says, and the 8 bulb...

    Light not workign with timer

    right! Just to check if the timer wasnt bad I plugged the wire that powers the T5 bulbs and it worked perfectly fine. I will try to use one of these mechanical timers and see if it works!

    stand question

    Thanks for the suggestions. Its amazing how these stands are made.. I got it from a guy who had the tank running for 4 years and the stand is light enough to be carried by 1 person easily.
