Has anyone ever ran a t5 light with an led light? I'm thinking about buying a t5 light to go along with my orbit marine led because my led light is only 46 watts so if I add a t5 light to it I would have the correct wattage for anemones and sps corals if I decide to put them in my 55 gallon because right now I got some anemones in my 30 gallon tank and that has an ocean revive t247 light so I'm pretty sure that's enough light because my rose tip anemone is getting pretty big so it must be enough light for that tank but for my 55 gallon tank it would be cheaper to buy a t5 light to go along with the orbit marine led light but I don't know how it would look so has anyone ever put a t5 light with an led and the t5 light that I think I'm gonna get is a Marineland t5 light that has 2 actinic lights and 2 regular lights in it and each set of lights is 2 × 54 watts so that would be a total of 216 watts plus 46 watts from the led light so that would make the total watts between both lights to 262 watts so that would be plenty of watts cause they say that you should have 5 × the number of gallons in watts which would be 275 watts so I would think that if I have 262 watts out of 275 watts that it should be enough watts right?
