Hey guys,
I recently just picked up an entire system second hand (tank, stand, filter, lights, wavemaker, co2 bottle w/ regulator). The lighting that came with it was a Sun System Tek-Light T5HO 39W 4 bulb unit (pretty sure this is the link to it - Sun System Tek-Light HO T5 Fluorescent Fixture 36 39W | 960015 : Grow Light Supply)
The tank I have is a 55gallon (36x17x21) and I'm wondering where this light would be put me as far as low-med-high?? I'm guessing I'm in low-med range but I was just curious what your thoughts on the light are.
I haven't had a chance to check what bulbs are in there now but I know I have at least one 6500k, one unknown and I think a 1500k?? bulbs still in boxes. Would it be worth replacing them with all 6500k bulbs??
I'm going to have pressurized CO2 and would like med-high lighting for this tank. I'd be open to new lights and flipping these ones but being from Canada most of the fixtures are starting to get pretty pricey if I wanted a new LED.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
