Lighting Question

Igarc009 · Feb 24, 2013

im think of adding a two bulb t5 fixture to my tank would i be able to run that and 2 PAR 30 bulbs? i have a 22g 24" long would that be too much light or would that be okay.

What's in the tank?

it might be too much light, or you can just raise the lighting fixture above the tank more.

Can you throw a dimmer on the par30's? If you could, then you could always just dim them down if its to much light

No dimmer and I mostly just want the t5s for color I'm gonna go with antic and either pink or purple for the other lamp

The tank has zoanthids and nems that's about it.

That's a lot of light for just news and Zoas. Definitely try raising it.

so its been a couple of weeks with the t5/led combo and I can honestly say i've seen a big improvement in the color of my zoa's
