I've just bought a new lamp with 2 x 150W HQI and 2 x 58W T8 and I'd like to replace the HQI bulbs with Giesemanns because they have a nice spectrum:

and coulor temp 5600 K. But anyone with real experience with these bulbs?

By the way my tank is 130 x 50 x 50 cm! ;)

Very powerful lighting you have there!
Do you intend to hang them up pretty high?
Nice big tank too, you must have a huge gas bottle?

I actually used the wires from my old ATI Powermodule 6 x 54W and therefore the lamp i about 30 - 40 cm above the water!

I've a 2 kg. CO2 bottle!

I have no experience of that particular bulb, but use 2 5200 kelvin halides and plant growth is great.

You only have the light on for 6 hours? Or do you have T5 on before and after the 6 hours HQI?
