[xxbreyxx]

Well am goinga buy a new lighting system and was wondering what yous all think, Well am thinking of ether t8 system or a t5 system, which would yous recommend, also am thinking of going with a double ultraseal t8 contoller or the double for the t5 system, depends which lights i go for, well few questions on the contoller also, 1 is seeing this double system, can i put 1 blue light on it and 1 white, and have them on 1 at a time like white at day and blue at night? Also i see theres different watts, theres 14-15w or 18w or 25 - 30w or 36 - 38w, which watt should i go for?

Thanks

Get the T5's if you're gonna try real plants. For fake plants, T8's will work just fine & much cheaper.
