Should work good...I usually use LED for supplemental lighting because they don't heat up and i feel less worried leaving them on when i go to work.I use a timer set for 12 to 14 hours.

I have a very similar set up, Monica, and it works great. You can hang those 2ft T5s on metal shelving too, which is fun as then you can have "book case" of Hoyas. :)

Thanks Jimmy.

i may need a "book case" as I placed my first order with Gardino's.
