Currently I have 4x 54w t-5's as my lighting choice. Tank is getting close to a year old! I basicly have some softies, LPS and some anem's. To list a few:
Ricordias
Few diffrent kinds of mushrooms
Button polups
Candy cane
Trumpet
leathers
Frog spawns
Hammerheads
Bubble coral
GSP
Anem's:
Condy
BTA ( just showed up one day! )
3 rose anem's ( just split last week! )
Everything seems to be doing very well and growing/spliting. I have been happy with the t-5's so far, little heat and good light output. But now I am wanting to add a couple of sps and I know I will need better light. I am wanting to get a Monte and maybe an acropora and or a birdnest.
Will 1x 175w MH be enough with my t-5's?
I was also thinking of overdriving my t-5's, would that be needed as well?
Thanks in advance everyone!
