Hi,

I just got a new 250W MH fixture for my 3wx2lx2h tank.

I currently am running 3 T5HO bulbs.

What would you do.

Just run the MH and sell T5s
or
Use the T5s for Actinic Lights with the MH.

Thanks,
E

Use them as actinics if you have the room. If the 3 bulbs can be run independent of eachother, you might just do 2 actinics and 1 10K or 50/50 just for some extra fill in light.
