    How about this. Two pc lights 65 Watts each one white one blue. Complete from bulb to plug 50 bucks. Would that work for my 29g. I was thinkin a self with the lights under. Off the wall. With hinges so I can change bulbs when needed?

    PC lighting is outdated and the bulbs are expensive.

    You also won't get the same PAR as T5. With 2 units you could keep medium-light corals, but nothing more.
