lights for my 5.5gallon im secretly working on

, and im not sure if i should get 1 or 2 of these fixtures.
Oh, and the tank wont be SPS or anything, just some zoos,rics,softies, and maybe a bit of lps.

I checked out the link and it looks like a good concept, keep us informed on how it turns out

Those won't work for you, they're good for much but moonlights.

do you have any experience with them?

The store I work at sells them and I took one out of the box and messed with it for a bit. They have a super narrow beam so on something like a 5g they are going to put down 4 shafts of light rather than lighting up an area. I suppose you could try putting a bunch of the modules on the tank raised up a bit but you'd need 10 of the things to light it up decently.
