so iwas told that 4 54 watt t5 h0 lights would be good to grow must everything in my tank. it is 20 " deep. on that note what would be the most pleasing look 2 10,000 and 2 420 antics or 10000 and pink and 2 antics not sure maybe should get six
Secondly, if you are going to try high light demand SPS corals I would go with at least 6 bulbs, probably 8 and a good reflector. The reflector is key for getting the most output out of T5s. The 10ks and actinics would look fine. Never tried the pink type. If you want less blue you could use 1 420 pure actinc and 1 true blue (geismann bulbs). That's what I use to supplement my 150w 10k halide.
90GALLON 48"L 18" W AND 20" H . I HAVE SEEN A TANK WITH ONE PINK BULB AND IT LOOKED GREAT PINK AND PURPLE ALGEA JUST GLOWED. I JUST NEED THE BEST LIGHT I CAN AFFORD. HALIDE IS SOMETHING OUT OF MY REACH. NEWBORN BABY AND ALL THAT STILL WANT TANK BUT (MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT ON IMPORTANT STUFF)END QUOTE. LOL . THANKS
i got a friend with a 90 gal reef same dimensions as your tank
he uses a t5 system with 8 bulbs and he overpowers the ballasts
i think he pay 400 for the fixture i think he can house all most anything
he wants with around 10wats per gallon
