Adding 2 Extra T5s To Rio's 125 Highlight Lid Worth It?

[aibo210]

Hi

I have a Juwel Rio 125 planted with the current lighting:

2x 28w J5 Arcadia plant pros (t5 extra length for juwel)

This gives me a bright pinkish light

What I want to do is buy a cheap t5 controller and add 2 more t5's

I was looking at the HAGEN Glo 2x24w t5 one and strapping the 2 new tubes to the plant pros.

Will this generate alot of heat? and also what colour tubes would work best to get rid of the pinkish hue?

I was looking at 2 Life-glo's 6500k

So id have 2X Plant pros and 2X life glo's

Will this work?

(budget tight cant afford a luminair)

BTW I Have CO2 Injection and doseing TPN+ and easycarbo!

there is no need to add more, light your at 2WPG anyway so you can grow anything with ferts and CO2
