    So... i think y'all kind of missed the point. I cannot afford/do not want to pay $200 for lighting. Would the 36 inch 96w pc and 2 48 inch T-5s be enough to keep LPS?

    How about selling/trading the 96W PC and adding two more 48"T5HOs? Should be able to do that and stay within your budget. With good reflectors he T5s will put out more usable light than the PC, bulbs are cheaper, and last longer. Just a thought. HTH.

    Ed, so your saying 4 t-5s would be better than the 96w pc and 2 t-5s? (i honestly dont know) This PC is fairly new though and i paid $100 for it so i wonder how much id be losing out on lol Money is the issue here, especially at the moment
