Going for a massive tank (well compared to my previous) and a bit confused as to which lighting to go for. The tank is 75cm deep, 160cm long and 60cm wide.
Going by the Watts Per Gallon rule of 2-2.5W/gallon I'm looking at 380-475W.
That's a lot of wattage and I'd like to be as energy efficient as possible without compromising on light output and quality. Are LED good enough yet? I recall TGM publishing an open letter stating why they don't sell any. Would T5 or MH be better?
