Ok, I will do that, although I don't want to have to buy a chiller and I already have an overheating problem in my tank room.

Thanks for the advice and opinions. I will read that other thread and take it from there.

I agree with StirCrazy. T5s are not equal to halides, they just aren't.

Ya, you should at least figure out the size of the tank, and what types of corals. clams, anemones you may want to keep as they will determine how intense the lighting must be. Maybe an a/c unit will help your fish room temp?
