ADDED T5’s TO CURRENT LED SETUP

fishkeeprian · 05/22/2020, 07:15 AM

Hello,

I have a 50 gallon breeder and was currently running two Hydra 26HD’s. I’ve now added 4 T5 bulbs, 3 blue plus and a purple plus, these are 39w bulbs.

On my 2 x Hydra 26HD’s I run the brs ab+.

My light leds are on for 12 hours per day and my t5s are currently being run 5 hours aday, coming in through the mid cycle of my leds.

Do I need to turn my leds down? Having the T5 and leds running together is this a disaster?

Help would be good on what to do. Thanks

As I said in your other post, I run my led's 10 hours a day, and add my T5's together with the led's for 3 hours during my viewing pleasure time in the evening.
