Re: [GSAS-Member] AH Supply 4x96 Bright Kit Versus Aquticlife T5High Output 72" Lighting System

Thanks Roy, I believe you brought some "nymphoid - Taiwan" plants to the
auction last meeting a small and a medium; I really liked the looks of them
and wanted to bid on the medium plant but somehow I missed it in the
auction; I bid on the small but bailed out in that I really wanted the
medium sized plant; will you be bringing some more to the next meeting? Do I
have the name correct on this plant? It was bright green and kind of looked
like a lilly; Thanks for all your help, Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I use the AH Supply DIY fixtures on two of my aquariums and I like them.
With 4X96 watts on a 125 gallon I can imagine algae could be an issue; that
is a lot of light!

I run about 2 watts per gallon and I seem to be able to grow just about
anything.  I especially like the 1X96 watt I have on my 45 tall (24" tall)
because the reflector seems to direct a lot of the light downward toward the
substrate rather than outward toward the walls of the tank.

I think Paul just set up a 6' aquarium; you may want to get his input.  Hope
this helps!

Roy
