4bulb or 6bulb T5HO HELP!

[Mandrew]

I would love to but I've already discussed it with the better half and she's having no part of paying $510 plus bulbs ($120) for an aquarium light. Not everyone is so willing to do that kind of stuff [emoji23]

Have you checked Amazon?

You really do get what you pay for, but I used a 4 bulb aquatic life fixture over my 45g system with ATI bulbs and it worked great. I will say it's no where as intense as my current 6 bulb ATI fixture.

Has legs but you could make your own suspension kit:

No experience with this fixture but it has great reviews and it's cheap... Again though, you get what you pay for...

The second one looks better than the one I was looking at for grow lights. But the first one is just a cheap aquarium light so what's the difference in a grow light and an off brand aquarium light other than about $60? Lol

Haha no idea, I guess you have to test them and find out. Scour reviews on each and see what you find. If you're on a tight budget lighting isn't your friend!

I know! Luckily I just found today I may be getting a second job! Which means lighting budget will prolly go up and I'll get an ATI fixture after all!
