Ok so i have a 220g 30 inch high tank. Was mostly FOWLR but have recently switched it up a bit and am starting to add some softies. Mushrooms zoos etc. As well i plan to add a anemome Not sure of the kind yet , maybe a carpet. My current lighting i have four 4 foot T-5"s 54 watts ea.)staggerd over the 6 foot length. 2 attinics 2 10,000k
I picked up another ballast that will run 4 more bulbs and was wondering some of your opinions if i should add 4 more bulbs or 2 more.
Basically wondering for what i keep would 4 more be a waste of electricity. Also I plan on putting them on 2 different timers one for attinics and other for the 10,000k. How much time is good to have the attinics on before the 10k's come on or just prefference to what i want .
Thanks
