Nancymacc Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When I moved to the new tank, I have kept the same lighting. My goal is fish and soft corals. This is what I am running for lighting that I got on ebay. Odyssea brand 30" T5 HO Aquarium Light 96W. 1x 30" T5 Quad fixture 2x 24W T5 HO lamps 10000K 2x 24W T5 HO lamps Actinic Blue 2x LED (I have some more LEDs on order, this is not very bright at night.) The tank is 50gallon with a depth of 19" and the lights sit right on top of the acrylic tank about 2" above the water surface. I have a 175w Metal Halide that I can mount on the lid of the canopy if needed but it is so hot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 So that is 4 T5's over your tank, then you should have plenty for soft coral and fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
