I would do 2 T5s one on each side.

The tank is 60in long and 24in wide. Right now I have my two pendents hanging on either side of the center brace. This leaves the middle of the tank a bit dimmer. I wanted something to add more light in that area.

It could be part and parcel of the type of pendant you are using, I would imagine those give you more of a spotlight effect. Have you thought about changing out to a rectangular style pendant, I would imagine you would end up using the same bulbs/ballasts that you already have?

Mike,
I have some 48"Coralife PC's. They are the 96W with moon lights. I only used them for 3 months. PM me if interested, I'll be gone all week but I'm back next week.

Thanks Kevin !

But my setup is only 2 x 175w and I think Mike wants to go up a notch.

Yeah Greg, the problem is the 'spotlight' effect. I don't really think that changing from the vertical mount pendant to a horizontal type would change much because I would still have two hanging pendants. Plus I wouldn't mind adding some wattage to the tank. Thanks for the thought though.
