When I was shopping for lights a few months back everything I seen stated that PC do not offer true actinics like T5 can. I would go for the T5 if those were the only options. **cough*led*cough*cough**

Go LEDs! You will save soooo much money and the light will be superior.

Trust me if I had the money leds it would be.

I have a new addition to the family in a couple months so I'm not tryin to invest too much on the setup. I'm gona need to spend my cash on other things

you could probably get by with one for the softies ...and even still have lps in the center but the edges will lose intensity
