Lighting Question

[hclaveria]

Yes, i agree with you.

The difference for me is the "entry cost" of having a LED. I can pick up a used 4 bulb TEK T5 for about $125 and upgrade it by adding a LED strip for another $85. I dont think I can pick up LED for my 90g for $250 - $300.

But my other dilemma is figuring out if I'm just wasting $200 because this setup wont sustain a reef tank and I am better off just waiting until I can pay for the LED.

I think you are wasting money on that light.
Your tank is too deep and too high for a 4 bulb T5.
You will need 6 bulb minimum and you would still have trouble placing SPS more than half way down.

Thanks again...i'm going to wait until I have enough for a LED setup.

I'm contacting WINGO to see how much i need to budget.

Appreciate everyone's help...you guys definitely make this hobby easier.
