what lighting will give zoas th best color?i have a 120 gallon tank i want to do zoa and acans i can going with a 12 bulb t5 fiixure or 3 150 watt mh fixures but really what is the best for color?
 
well i have t5's and think my colors are very nice, i have lots of zoos and palys. but i do think the mh's give better pop to colors. but its to each his own i think. with the t5's i still have nice color and i dont use as much energy and dont generate as much heat so i dont have to have a chiller either....
 
on another note if you are going with 12 t5's you will have plenty of light. with t5's its more of a matter of playing with the bulb lineup and seeing what you like and what gives you the color you are looking for. i tried several combinations with my t5's til i found one i liked....
