I currently have a 65W PC over my 37 gallon. This fall I am moving into an apartment at school and setting up either a 20L or a 29. I am going to have to buy a new light for the new tank. Would it be better for me to buy a new light for my 37 and put the 65W over the 20/29 or leave it the same and buy a new light for the 29. I was thinking about 96W PC for the new tank. What would be an equivalent for the T-5 and which would be cheaper to run? 37gallon has zoos and softies.

Everything aboue T5HO is better.

Higher PAR Rating
Less watts
more intense
smaller bulbs
