T5 light panel for corals

[citrus82]

hey guys,
My tank will be 90 gallon.(I have not bought it yet) I?m just curious can I take any other not LED lamps for the panel. I will be doing it by myself. (I hope I will cope with it) My brother gave the T5 from his previous tank and I want to remodel it for my tank.
PS: My tank is intended for corals.

bump, I began to mount these lamps https://www.mrosupply.com/lighting/...ballasts/1854544_flft513w827_fulham-lighting/ it is 13w. But it seems that the light they give is not enough for the corals. How much light do corals need? Does it depend on the type? I?ll buy pipe corals, green and purple, leather corals and button polyps. Maybe someday I will add the hard corals.

t5s are a good way to go but your'e going to need 6 to 8 bulbs for the best results, with 8 bulbs you can grow anything
