Hello everyone! I was hoping that some of the more knowledgeable minds can help me out a bit. Last week my reef tank of 5 years completely crashed and everything perished, I shall miss those fish! The day before the crash, I ordered 4 new ATI T5HO bulbs, which I will list below.
2x: ATI 24 Inch 24W Blue Plus
1x: ATI 24 Inch 24W Aquablue Special
1x: ATI 24 Inch 24W Purple Plus T5HO Fluorescent Bulb
The fixture is an Aquatic Life 4 bulb model that was used to light my 20gH tank, and the fixture rested on the top of the tank.
I figured I would give saltwater a rest and return to freshwater but this time try a live planted tank.
From the posts that I have already read, 4 T5HO bulbs on my 20H tank would be way too much.
I haven't even taken the bulbs out of the shipping box yet and my question is would the bulbs I have ordered be good on a planted tank? Or should I just return them and obtain different bulbs that would be more beneficial to me for a planted tank?
Thank you!
After doing some more perusing around these forums I think it will snag up one of those finnex led fixtures and return these bulbs. They look like a decent light.
