RE: Lighting

I'm using 4 VHO's over my 90Gal. but I'm hearing alot about T5's is this a better, brighter blub? Would it be worth the upgrade?

Thanks

I personally don't think it would be worth the upgrade. If you have 4-VHO's I think the next upgrade would be MH.

What kind of critters are you keeping, or what do you plan on keeping?

I will agree with Scott, and say that IME, most corals really appreciate alot more lite than we usually give them.

I would certainly not swap out VHO's for T-5's. It does not sound like it would be worth it to me.

Make it 4, I say if you are going to spend cash on an upgrade, go with Metal Halide. It is by far the best in my opinion.
