Well I have stepped off in no man’s lands… I had a chance to get some frags at a GREAT deal and now I need to know what lights I need. I’m currently building a canopy.

I have a 6 bulb T-5 HO light. It will be about 6 to 7 inches above the water of the 75gal DT. I know I need to read more about them but I believe I have a mix of LPS and SPS and some soft corals. I really don’t know where to put them in the tank yet.

I have 4 of the 6 bulbs so far. All bulbs are the wave point brand. I have 2 of the SUN WAVE™ 12,000k and 1 of the Super Blue Actinic 460 and 1 of the REEF WAVE™ Super Violet O3 Actinic 420. I would assume that I need 2 more of the Super Blue Actinic 460.

Is this correct or do I need to change something?
