Ok, I have read a few threads regarding t5's on a 40breeder which has the same footprint as my 65 however my 65 is taller, 24" to be exact.
Now will a 6 bulb T5HO teklight fixture be enough for a clam or two or should I just stick on getting 2x250se w/20k xm's retro fixture instead.
I plan on keeping a mixed reef setup.
Thanks,
Mutt

i would get the ati t5 unit from reefgeek twice as much par as the tek light
and either one would be ok for clams

Is the price range the same on the ati units compared to the teklights?
