ATI 60" 4 or 6 bulb??

[endlessblue]

hey all I looking at changing my light fixture on my reef tank to either one of these ATI T5s fixtures. My question is, I have a "skinny" tank only 18" wide and 60" long and will be a LPS/Softy dominated tank. The 4 bulb is 9.5" wide and the 6 bulb is 13" wide.

Will the 4 bulb 80wat be enough for my needs. ATI states that the 4 bulb can sutable for 160gal soft tank, 130gal mix, and 105gal SPS. Based on that it should be ok but I always take first hand knowlege over whats printed. thanks

Only bad part about 4 bulbs is that you might have a hard time finding a color combo you'll like. But IMO, 4x80w will be plenty for SPS and softies.

That's ok I actually love the look blue and white. I'd run 2 white 2 blue or 3 blue 1 white??
