Lighting help

[John Gemmel]

im looking into getting a t5 fixture to help my kessil 360we tuna blue over a 29gallon biocube. Having problem with shadowing on sps..also don't think I'm getting good color but different story..

Will a t5 fixture two bulb fixture be a good idea and what kind? Thanks for the help?

In short, yes, it creates a wider source of light and adds Par, how much depends on the distance from the water.
What kind? up to you, T5 retrofits are readily available. Not sure the dimensions of the tank but I believe 18in is the smallest size. ATI only makes a22 I believe.

If you have some intensity left on the led you can alo raise the led and increase power. Aim for the top of then not the bottom. by hitting the sides more youll get more light bouncing around.

With both, there is some need to understand the light won't really wrap under some spots.

it could be easier to use a BB style light with more emitters.
