Benefits of adding T5s

[xabo]

Have a 225 gal. (72Lx24wx30T) with 6 Radion XR30 G4 pros 12" above water line. Would I gain anything by adding 4 T5 bulbs? SPS dominant running a modified AB+ schedule. Thanks

Hybrid setups are all the rage right now but in your case I don't see any need to add it unless you're bored and looking to spend money

Only reason I could think of if you are having shadowing issues.

T5's are great for reducing shadowing. If you don't have issues with it, I don't think youll benefit much from it, aside from the extra par.

I recently made a hybrid lighting system (2 AI Primes and 4 T5) to reduce shadowing. Its been running for 3 months on my 170 liter. Biggest benefits so far are the fun of building it and look..

Add the diffusers to your radions and turn them up a bit and call it a day.
