20g Long Lighting Question

[Lpabsolute]

Hey, I'm in the process of setting up a 20g long tank. What do you think of these lights. Will they be a good fit for this tank? Strong enough? What corals would i be able to keep?
Please offer advice....

I'm not sure how long the 20's are but if that light will fit the tank, i'd say get it. That would be a pretty good light over 20g imo and you should be able to get pretty much anything.

They are about 30 inches long

If you decide to go with this retro they arent the best set of bulbs. I would go with the Tek retro just because you can decide which bulbs you want like ATI, Giesmann, and GE bulbs. Much better. IMO. But if you stick with this retro later on when you need to change your bulbs go and get the bulbs listed above^^ way better quality.

I am setting up a 20g L right now myself. Its going to be a prop system though. I purchased the 4x24watt Tek retro from diyreefs for 269$. The tank will have a "false wall" overflow 5 inches in, so it will be drilled. :)
