Hi everyone I am starting a 26 bow (24" width) and I am begining the process of choosing lighting. I am looking at two options:
-4x24 t5 HO Nova fixture
-Sunpod 150 watt HQI 14k bulb
I would like to keep both hard and soft corals. I am unfamiliar with T5's but have had much experience with halides. I like the shimmer, intensity, but don't want heat issues on this 26. Will the T5 allow me to keep some sps and maybe a clam? Or should I just stick with the halide?
Oh yeah if you have any links of comparisons that would be awesome. Thanks.
