    right now I have a 55g tank with t5 lighting 4 bulbs. I can upgrade to 6 bulbs or go leds. it gets to hot in the summer for a mh. wondering what yall thoughts where on this. price doesn't matter really and im not a diy person. I want to be able to grow anything without having to worry.

    go for it! I converted my 90 gallon to LEDs from t5s and couldn't be happier. I went with 2x reefbreeders photon 16s and love them. there are lots of good full(ish) spectrum led fixtures out there for reasonable $.
