I just set up a new bioactive tank and I am worried that my lighting isn’t correct. I was thinking of getting the Odyssey t5 dual light and putting one 6500k light and a zoo med 5.0 uvb t5ho. For heating I was just going to do a dome lamp with 100w light bulb (non led). For the plants I was going to do a Sansi LED grow light. Does that sound like it would be sufficient or does anyone have any other suggestions? I was also thinking of doing the quad odyssey with 3 6500k bulbs but I’m worried if I do that I won’t have room for the Sansi grow light. Please help! I really want it to be perfect for our soon to be new family member.
Lighting help!

At this point, you will get better plant milage out of the sansi vs more 6500k T5HOs. My next "build" will just be 1 T5 HO (odds are in a nano) for UVB, and the rest being whatever is the LED grow light flavor of the month. LED grow lights are advancing very rapidly, so you may find even the sansi isnt as good as a value any more. If you want to invest a bit more, you can diy it and make a much better setup.
