Hi, thanks alot for your sharing and you are indeed a very good DIY person and your lightset is not anyway inferior to those
factory make.
Your mentioned about led tube and do you mean T5HO as I never heard there is any led tube before. If have, can advise
where can I buy and is it able to replace my current 39w tube ?

6500k is more suitable for planted.
But how about up z series?

How should I ask fish shop ? Tell them APP can?
Btw can they do without Co2?
I just called EOA and was told that they are expecting a new 3FT LED EVO lightset for 5w bulb so I suppose that it is
much stronger and penetrate deeper than the current 3w bulb.
If the price is not much difference or same so wouldnt it be better to get the new lightset with 5w for my 322 tank ?
In theory, higher wattage individual LEDs would usually have better depth penetration, but how well it works overall would depend on the design of the lightset too (ie. spectrum mix, light spread and coverage, heat build up etc).
Since its a new model, if you do get a set... do post a review on it.

actually the 5w is in the market for quite sometime but no available in singapore. As odyssea evo are only brought in by EOA(local distributor).

I was convinced by david, razor are better, in terms of color rendition, and specs mention by urban. if you are getting from EOA, i believe the price will be quite close.

3ft mhx is at $435, 5w will definitely be more expensive. 250 will not be able to get any led light needed for your tank specs unless you diy

No I am not getting the mhx but this http://www.eastoceansg.com/odyssea-e...ant-p-821.html for the foreground plants
The 5watt, i bet will be expensive but if you can effort it why not? Is it dimmable?
Since you are interested in led,read this article to understand more how different lights work in an aquarium.

Mhx is 4row, the one you planed to have is only 2 row of leds. Led is different from light tube. The light is uni direction unless there is lens added to it. So the 2 row might not be able to cover your entire 2ft width. You can raise the height of the light to cover a bigger area but it is at the expense of peneration/ intensity which might end up not able to have good amount of light hitting the substate level. So you are back to square one.
Maybe you can achieve a balance with the 5w model, but it seems like currently no one is using so there is no review given on it. So you will become the "First Explorer"

Yes basically the evo led light is solely for the foreground plants and I will still put 2-4 tubes of T5HO to cover centre and back of tank. Currently I have only 4x39 T5 and they are old tubes above 1 year. Before I buy the evo led, I am intending to get 2 tubes of Osram T5 from NA and see how is the result first.
If the new tubes is able to grow foreground plants like app, hairgrass then I will halt my plan to get the led lights for now.
