GOOD or BAD?

[magglite]

Hello,
I Have Nova T5 lighting system with 4 x 54w, 2-actinics 460nm and 2-10k. and 4 lunar. My tank is 18" deep "75gal" will this support most coral and anything else? I'm new to this and would like to know if i need to upgrade to MH combo setup..

Thanks

Hi magglite,



While I never used T-5's myself other people have, and with quite the success. I too have a 75g tank and sometimes think that with about 8 T-5 bulbs I could've maintain any coral I wished. One of this days I intend to try.
Seriously, though, do a search on T-5 lighting and you should be able to find some information on the results of using it as oposed to MH fixtures.

Hi magglite,

I am not sure if 4 bulbs will support "anything" but it should be enough light to support a lot. You could try out some of the less light requiring stonies (like M. digitata) to see how it does under the lighting and go from there.
