Well, the plan is to have 2 T5HO bulbs running 12 hours a day above the tank anyhow. This was more because of colour considerations more than anything, I want to use a 10K bulb because I like the really bright white sunlight effect. I was planning on using a XM 10K bulb with a PFO electronic ballast run 8 hours a day, and and 2 actinic or 50/50, maybe a Fiji Purple T5HO on for 12...
Does this change the equation at all?
OH, and the tank is like 15 inches deep, part of the tank will have a 3" sandbed (the seagrass part)....

Reason: Because you can't fit 6 T5HOs and a MH light above a tank that's only 12" wide ;)
