Alright, here we go again with another supid question.
I currently have a standard 4ft 55 gallon tank and would like to keep sps and clams. Marine Depot has the Current USA Outer Orbit Pendant for about $130 each. I could use two of these, or I could buy the Nova Extreme Pro which has 6x 54 watt T5 bulbs. This one is about $344. Most people like to use MH, but I also hear that T5 gives off more lumens per watt. Which one should I use???
