I have an 80-90 gallon bowfront tank with dimensions
48 x 20 1/2 x 28 1/2
these are the dimessions for the whole aquarium, not the water volume that will be kept inside.
I plan on keeping soft corals and a few LPS easy to care for without too much light requirments.
Right now my light fixture has a spot for a 10.000K fluorescent(i think its T5) and another 2 spots for regular fluorescents.
I plan on moding the fixture to have 4 spots for T5 fluorescent lambs.
If I get 110 watt lamps, will 440 watts of light be enough for what I plan to keep.
That is until I save some extra money to spend on a metal halide fixture.
