i had posted a thread a few weeks ago asking about te 440 watt vho system i had planned on installing and was given the approval by all in the forum.. i ahve a 55 gal and today when i went to purchase i began a conversation with another reefer who had been in the hobby for over 10 years he had claimed he seemed very knowlgable and suggested that i look into the t5 lights and that with the propper reflectors and using vho ballast that i could get a very close outout level to the vho with less heat and money... he then began ex;plaining the different varrieties of colors offered by the t5s as well which i guess will add more color to my tank so long story short i left my lfs with no lights and a headache please help!!!
