right now i have a 10g tank with pressurized CO2 and an EI dosing regimen. My lighting fixture now is a 1x36W Power Compact by Finnex, with a 10000K bulb. It is really inconsistent lighting (by that i mean that one end of the tank is really bright and one is a lot less bright), and all of my plants become the exact same shade of green under these lights.
I'm wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to a 2x20W T5 fixture? Ive heard that T5 fixtures put out much more lumens per watt of light than PC's do, and then i could have more consistent light, and i think then i could use a 4500K light AND a 10000K light, so the plants would be a wider range of colors, right?
