I currently use LED lights on my 75 gal 4 ft tank and have been happy with them. Although, they could be brighter. However, in the back of my mind I wonder how my tank would look with T5 HO lamps (2 or 4 lamp). All the stores I've been to carry the 2L fixtures. Some use the 2L with the aid of fluorescent lamps to show case their empty tanks.
I don't really know what the 4L T5 HO would look like on my tank. Perhaps it would be over kill, but I would hate to upgrade to a 2L and find out later I really wanted a 4L . So, I made an impulse decision and ordered the 4L T5 HO with lunar LED. I don't have it yet but could this purchase do more harm then good for my tank? Is it possible to complain it's too bright? If it was too bright I could always remove a lamp or two right? Or are these fixture wired in series and all 4 lamps must be on? Impulse purchases kill me...
