T5 Lighting Question
I am in the process of setting up a new reef tank that measures 30"Lx20"Wx20"H. I have never used T5 lighting before but would like to try it out on this tank. Would a Sunlight Supply 4x24w system be enough to keep LPS, Zoa's and softies? Would 6x24w allow me to keep SPS? Thanks for any input!

Wow, your tank looks great! I have a Sunpod MH over a 24" long 20g tank and I don't like the light fall off on the sides. I plan on doing a retrofit canopy of T5's that I can stagger the 24" bulbs a bit so the entire tank is lit. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks guys. I am currently running Geisemann Actinic+ on the outside, and two Aquascience "specials", Kz "new gen" and Giesemann Aquablue+ in the middle
