I have a standard lighting fixture that you get with any old tank. So i do not favor the idea of spending 300-500$ on a T-5 fixture and bulbs when i can get an equally or more powerful bulb that is V-HO or HO.

I want to get: http://www.dtpetsupplies.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2192

What is the big deal with T-5 besides the efficiency? how long do V-HOs last?

Besides bulb thickness, whats the difference from T12, T10, T8, T5 etc bulbs?

Thanks
