I have a 75 gallon tank with a bunch of different types of coral, sps, lps, clam. I just updated my pc lights to T5 lights. I am running a Ice Cap 660 retro kit with 4 48" bulbs and then a 2 bulb 36" retro kit. For bulbs, I am running 2 blue bulbs atnics in the 36" retro kit, and then for the 48", I am running 2 pure atnics, 1 6500k, and an aquablue + (I belive it is 15000k) bulb. All bulbs are geissman.

Is this enough lights, or should I change some of the bulbs. The reason I went with the retro kits, was becuase the Ice cap only has one plug, so I put it on one timer, and then the 2 bulb on its own timer to start an hour before the other ones come on, and goes off an hour after the other ones go out.

Thanks for the help.
