水草情迷

For a grass tank, which is better?

t5ho 24w x4 (aquagem) = 96W
or
t8 20w x 3 (up-aqua) = 60W

i got a 24" tank

will 60W be too little for a grass tank?

how about depth and height of yr tank?

it is a kotabuki 600s ..
I think it should be w24" h14" d12"

thanks!

If you're going to use ADA tubes, then I'll suggest 20Wx3. ADA tubes are expensive but the quality of light is superior. If you don't, then choose BCD 24Wx3 (you may install 3 tubes instead of 4 tubes). I think 24Wx4 is too strong for your tank, unless you have much plant that are in good condition.

我都研究緊24" x 14" x 12"的水草缸用咩燈比較好﹙包括價格考慮﹚，先睇下表：



1.牌子問題，不作考慮。
2.同上。
3.近期出現於魚街的牌子，好似比BCD牌子，但正如上述的ching所言，加上價格唔算平，暫不考慮。
4.如果用ADA光管，價格約$628，加上有60W總輸出，不錯的選擇。
5.由於得60L水，網上鹵仔雖然平，但太光同太熱，已不選擇。
6.如果用ADA光管，價格約$880，價格最貴，但自由度高，可以配搭唔同的光管組合。

暫時我都諗住用第6個選擇，但未必用哂4支管，一黎貴，二黎未必用得著，反而會選擇有冇可能搭一支第二個色譜的光管用。希望以上的資料幫到你。

*價格全憑印象而已，有錯請更正。

Just a kind reminder: If you're going to have the T8 20Wx4, you'd better check the width of the lighting case. Probably, it will cover all the surface of your tank which means that may be difficult for daily maintenance, in particular, if you have fishes inside your tank.

由於而家未見過實物，唔知有冇得好似D飛碟燈咁揭起，如果唔得，咁唯有考慮返UP T8 X 3。
唔知有冇CHING有响水X店買咗呢個T8 X 4，可否分享下？

it seems like a fixed leg..

any way.. any one know if I use 24wx4 t5ho..

If I use 3x6500K tube and one other colour tube, will it be better for the grass?
