    that way of judging light output is outdated. also it all depends on how deep his tank is. if its more than 25 inches deep i would do halides or led's. you can grow anything under t5's just the catch is is it takes alot of bulbs. i agree a twelve bulb fixture would be the best way to go. but if your gonna spend that much you might as well buy led or halide. its completely up to you
