T5 vs t12, old shop lights for cloning??

Well getting ready to fire up the eZ cloner for the first time.I have a 6 bulbs, t5, setup, and a shop light setup.Both are four feet long, but the shop lights are only 2, bulbs and are 36w each.Where my t5 are 54w and can run just 3 of them for now?

I've been cloning for a good month or two, and know low watts work on my dome setup?So I'm thinking to just clone with the t12 setup??

Anyone think other wise?

The t12 will work just fine.. If anything the t5 would be for veg along with the t12.

Cool thank's for the reply.

I wasn't sure?But will use the t5 for veg then, and t12 for clones.

I also don't no if I should cool my eZ cloner 120, with a bottle of frozen ice?My room temp is 79f.

Will look at the waters temp today to see how hot it gets.

Yeah chk the temps of the res. I'm no hydro expert but I borge it should be kept at 70..

the shop light is perfect for cloner, they need very little light. i never worry about cloner temp, they like it a little warmer, around 75. its not like you have roots to rot.

Thank's got it running good.Temp stays at a good 78-79f, water temp is at 72f, it says???

I'm going to get a new water temp reader, today.

petsmart started carrying a new aquarium thermometer that is made much better for $10.

Thanks, was going to go to Lowes, but petsmart is right there too, so I'll look at them both
