4 bulbs vs. 6 bulbs

[RichardPryor]

Can I grow anything I want with 4 x 54w T5's? Depends on brand? Individual reflectors obviously...

if you ran 2 ge6500k bulbs you could run 4 bulbs but the tank would be very white and it would be hard to offset the brightness of the 6500k's with only two blue bulbs. On a 75 I would go with 6 bulbs personally. If you want a cheaper 6 bulb fixture get the Current USA Nova Extreme Pro. It has individually contoured reflector for each bulb unlike the regular nova extreme and again with the right bulbs you could grow anything.
