I use a CURRENT USA 4x54w T-5 and love it....it also does the job for me

 

[Bry17nyc]

How much did it cost you?
Where did you buy it?

t5's the cost depends on alot of things 4 6 or 8 bulbs i have a 4 bulb wish i went six

I bought it for my GBTA but it helps keep everything else alive
Zoas,softies,leather, I don't have SPS so I don't know about that.. I paid $100 but it was from a member here.

But I here the 4 bulb nova extreme pro and the 4 bulb Tek lights are better... But they do cost also:-/

Gary you think a 4 bulb would be good?

I want to put some frogspawn,hammer, torch, xenias, polyps and some mushrooms

i have a wavepoint 4 bulb retro fit under my canopy i have two clams on the bottom of my 90 and they are doing fine the light is good but be careful with wavepoint one day i was doing a water change and touched the reflector with my forearm while my hand was in the water and got belted there was 57 volts from the reflector to the water i thought the light was bad so i replaced it and the new one did the same thing wavepoint was of no help i just ran a ground wire from the outlet to the reflector and the voltage went away i wish i went with six bulb cause i see some corals that i want and dont want to take a chance

Clams in a 90 with a 4 bulb T5?

Really?

I wouldn't go anything less than a great quality 6 bulb T5 on a 90.
I have a 6 bulb Tek on a 75 I think it's perfect.

LEDs are the way to go
