Seen in your signature that you run T5 lighting, what are the dimensions on your tank, mine is 48Lx18Dx24H. it came with a two bulb T5 but I will have to buy more lighting. Was wondering if another 4 or 6 T5 would be enough?

that will depend on what type of corals you're wanting to keep. 4 would be fine for lower light corals such as mushrooms and softies etc. With 6 you'd be able to keep pretty much anything (SPS higher in the tank, with more flow etc).

I was going to go with 6 bulbs over my 90 (same dimensions as your tank) and from what I'd read you'd be able to sustain/grow anything (even clams) but went with MH instead.
