Lighting?

[n3hihz]

Hi all,

Need some advice on the lighting of my tank. I'm setting up an oceanic 58 dimensions are L 36.5 x W 18.5 x H 21

I have a 4 bulb t5 tek light, would this be enough for the tank? or should I add 2 more bulbs?

4 will work. But 6 would be better. Better bulb combo and growth.
There's a 6x39w power module for sale on the site.

I have the 4 Bulb Teklight already, I also have a 2 buld Coralife. Maybe I'll run them side by side.

Any recommendation on bulbs combination?

Add in some reefbrites as supplemental lighting and you'll be good to go.

Yea I was thinking about either the stunners or reef brite but right now I can't get any new equipment. So I guess the 4 bulb plus 2 bulb will just have to do. I still have to cycle so there isn't any major rush yet.

I have an ATI 6 x 39w. I like it a lot. Growth and color on Sps look great. Also you can change color specs easy by replacing bulbs. Stick with ATI bulbs.

It currently has ATI bulbs in it. 2 blue 1 purple and 1 actinic. I'll play around with it and see what happens I guess.

Yea hoping in a few months my budget will free up a bit. But for the time being I'll have to run the lights I have I guess as long as its not a major fail.
