i just went form pc lights to 150w MH / 2 X 24w T5 10,000k not sure what to make of it.... it looks good real bright and blue hue,
so they both stay on togeather for most of the time....mine is set for 12hr on and 12hr off not sure if it is right....i know what you mean. I recently switched from pc to mh and my jaw about hit the floor. I leave my actinics on from one hr before the MHs till one hour after.
is it important to do it that way? also what does the t5s bring to the tank.... i see tanks with just mh only...Looks good!! If you want you can leave them all on for the most part of the day, however just have the T-5's come on at the beginning of the day first for like an hour (by themself)and then in the evening, let the T-5's stay on again by themself for an hour again. It will give the tank a dusk to dawn effect.
thanks... i have no torch, just lr and a group of shrooms...the tank has been going for some years now...its the frist few days with the new light.. i would like to get more color,to the tank but i have no idea what to get as new additions for the tank..looks good! I hope you remember to acclimate your tank to the new halides especially if you have a torch

so the hr before and after should be part of the 12hr periodLooks good!!
