90gal ?

Found a great price on a 90g tank which is bigger than I wanted. Shows a 25inch height compared to 21" on a 75. I have a 4x54w t-5 fixture is this too tall for these lights? What would I be able to grow with this combo? Thanks

It will be just like your 75g only less PAR at the bottom 3-4". A 4 bulb t5 fixture should do zoas, palys, softies and lps OK, even some sps if you can set them higher in the water (like the upper half).

Agree with Ron you'll be fine. A 90 is a great tank, enjoy!
