T5 lighting

[silverwolf]

currently I have 2 175MH with 2 VHO atinics and was thinking of swithing over to T5 lights. Still in the process of setting up my tank which is 120g plan on keeping Softies and LPS. Found these on ebay what do you think, seems like a good deal.

Would this be enough lighting?

Looks like a nice unit but I don't know much about the seller, ever price out IceCap retros?

 

[silverwolf]

Yes the icecaps are close to twice the price without lights

"8 foot thick power chords are included"

I sure hope that is a typo.

I have purchased from them several times. They are good for their product.

Thanks for the feed back, so would using 4 10k and 2 actincs be enough?

I'm keeping croceas and SPS under a 4 T5 bulb setup. Everything is growing rapidly and looking great. I do try to keep the higher light needing animals closer to the surface (only makes sence).

I wouldnt hesitate to say that the setup you are thinking of would easily meet your lighting needs. (and while useing less power, less heat, better light distribution etc)
