i third albert's suggestion on T5's. a 6 bulb deep fixture would probably be enough. I have an 8 bulb fixture over top of my 48x24x24 tank, and it's TOO much lighting for softies and lps lol. i'm going to swap out some of the 50/50 bulbs for pure actinics and hopefully get some colour back.
Eventually when my tank's old enough, I'm going to switch to SPS, and vent my tek light fixture, and hopefully increase my par by 50%
