ReefGeek. com

So you don't need a sump for your 55 anymore?

[eldiablosrt8]

i hope not.... LOL.... i might be looking for a custom one for the 120.the tank has one but im not sure if it will be what i want... sorry i thought i sent you a PM

[eldiablosrt8]

ok thanks..... i was thinking that 4 bulbs would only be like 2 watts per gallon

[eldiablosrt8]

here is a stupid ? but can you gut a t5 fixture and put just the equipment in the hood

[shaneh]

look at bulk reef supply too!

[eldiablosrt8]

thx but there DIY kits use the workhorse ballast( heard its no good)

[marioensf]

Did you get uads tank? a fixture might fit inside but better safe than sorry retro T5 and at least six bulbs

[sfboarders]

would suggest you do at least 6x54w on a 120g. assume that your tank is 4ftx2ftx2ft.

+1. My tank is 18" deep and I stuffed 6x54W in my canopy. But that all depends on what coral you plan on keeping.

i heard the same thing about the workhorse ballast but i think it works fine...I have a 660 hooked up too you can see it is a bit brighter but the bulbs will burn out faster...so take your pick....

[marioensf]

That's one sweet tank; see if you can fit your current tank and convert it to a sump.
