Which T5-Ho for 20H acrylic sps tank

[scunfcu]

I have 20H ( 24x13x16) acrylic tank with sps corals. Which T5-HO fixture to buy.

- with mounting legs to go over the acrylic tank
- Watts needed and bulb selection to bring out the colors in sps

Scunfcu,

Our 24" TX5 5 lamp T5 HO fixture would work great on your tank. There are available mounting legs (riser brackets). The following lamps I would use for an SPS tank. All T5 HO lamps for this fixture are 24W ea.

Front:
1) Aquaz Ocean Pro or ATI Aquablue Special
2) Aquaz Blue Pro or ATI Blue Plus or UVL Super Actinics
3) Aquaz Ocean Pro or ATI Aquablue Special
4) Aquaz Blue Pro or ATI Blue Plus or UVL Super Actinics
5) Aquaz Ocean Pro or ATI Aquablue Special

Thanks Tom. btw how many hours of lighting do you recommend with this setup?

scunfcu,

No more then 10 hours total. Most have the actinics on first (for one hour) then turn on the days lights with the actinics for 8 hours and then just the actinics for one more hour.

Thank you,
