T5 vs AI Prime

[Mehlvis]

In building my tank, I’m finding that I don’t have the money to get everything that I would like, weird I know. I would like to do a T5 / AI Prime hybrid on my 72x18x22 tank. If I can only afford to by half the lighting now, would you recommend the T5 first or the AI prime pucks first?

t5’s first…
it will afford you wider
and more thorough coverage.

How wide is the tank? My ai's don't have alot of spread. Id probably buy the t5s first. Hybrids are nice, maybe try getting some quality used equipment?

Unless you're getting lots of Primes, I would get the T5s first.

Thanks everyone. The consensus seems unanimous. T5 it is.
