How many t5ho bulbs over a 125G
I want to keep softies and lps. Also, would it better to use 4 foot lamps to create darker spots? I have 2 WH7 ballasts. Maybe use one for actinics (4 X 36'') and 4 X 48'' 10K. What do you guys think? Other suggestions welcome.

I can't put 80W, I have ordered 8 48'' and 8 36'' reflectors.
Thanks for the input though. I should've waited to order. |

Then sell 6 of the 48" reflectors and set up 4 x 39w on each side.
then if you decide you want more light you can squeeze in two of the 54w staggered.
