6 or 8 Bulb ATI with ReefBrites

4bruceinc · 01/28/2014, 05:04 PM

I currently have a four bulb T5 retro with two all blue XHO reefbrites (36").

My 40x30x18 reef savvy should be finished in two more months - I wanted to know if I should go with a 6 or 8 bulb SunPower based on the tank's height and the two reefbrites. The tank will be SPS dominate.

All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

SPS dominate would lead me to the 8 bulb personally.
