this might have been discussed before, i am starting a 120g with 40 breeder tank, the dimension of the tank will be 48x24x24, i will have a dsb w plenum in the main tank, i was wondering, would t5 be a good selection, im thinking about getting ice cap 660 overdriven retro kit w 8 bulbs, or a 2x250mh with t5? which one will be more suitable for me, i am not extremely care about all sps or lps, i just want to have a good growing tank. pros and cons with these two set up?

I am a huge fan of 175w Iwasakis with VHO or T5 supplements. The Iwasakis will put out the same ammount of par or more than most of the 250w bulbs. The bub is very white, but if you are using T5 supplements than its all good.

Halide with T5s
If you retrofit then make sure to get nice reflectors. Dont waste your money on batwing reflectors.
