I have a 90 Gallon Wavy Aquarium. I have had the HARDEST time finding a canopy to fit it so it will be open top. I am preparing it for a Reef Set-Up.... My question is how many Glo T5's do I need to successfully run a 90 Gallon reef aquarium? I have only been able to find single or double housing systems. Thanks to my fiance I can't suspend the lights from the ceiling.

Spend your $$$ on another unit that will support 4 or 6- 54 watt bulbs. If your gonna go on the cheap, look into Catalina aquariums T5HO. I own a 6x80W for 1.5 years, and

I'm very happy with it. Think the prices went up though?
2 - 2x 54W GLO prolly runs you $280+ minus tax, and you have 2 different units on your tank. That would be the minimum for a 90G.
I would run 6 bulbs.
