if money was the issue i would never have started this hobby

gotta agree with you there!

BUT

12 lamps over a 2 foot cube? sounds like alot to me.

12 tubes would certainly open up a lot of stocking choices, but they'll be as bright as a MH at least in the top half to three quaters, so if you are opting for T5 over MH, to avoid up-setting mushrooms with too much light, you would kind of shoot yourself in the foot with that kind of option. You'll be getting a similar output to a 400W halide if they are all white tubes, or to a 250W MH if you split half Actinic and half white... Still, as Barney says, with 12 tubes you can play with different lamps to get the colour you want/like

both units are 11" so 2 unit will fit on there, being 12 tubes.

Some bad news, the female clown jumped out, she has jumped out so many times and she has been fine, but this time i didnt notice, poor thing. They only onyx clowns i have ever seen in perth (where i live)

 

[seffieuk]

What is an onyx clown?

time for an update.

the female clown jumped out, into my bowl of spaghetti. Sad loss, but funny to think back on, I was eating and looking at the computer, look down to eat, and there she was, lying in some sauce.... poor thing.
The tank has had a MASSIVE algae problem which killed most my zoo's but everything else is okay.
I havent added a coral for months.
STUPIDLY! my mother bought me a fish. the thought was there i guess, i was excited to see what it was. guy at the fish store said they stay around 4"

..


Bristle tooth tang. wasnt the worst tang to get i guess. He is only like 1.5" atm. I have fallen in love with him! so looks like i need to upgrade cos i cant part with him
