T5 vs. VHO for actinic supplementation

[childress5tyler]

I have room for 2x 24" bulbs, I'm looking to add either vho or t5 for actinic supplementation to my 14k Phoenix 250 halides. Which would be better? Thanks!


Keep calm and reef on

OH your only running 2 bulbs 24 inch? the icecap 660 that i have would be way overkill.. But IMO i would go with VHO especially for actinics since there brighter then t5.. You only need a icecap 430 to run 2..I have a 430 running 2 of my 48inch vho

T5 bulbs seem to be a lot easier to find in a 24 inch size then vho tho
