I am setting up a*frag*tank 24x20x8. My*dt*uses*MH*and t5 supplementation. I was thinking of going with two t5 bulb fixture over*frag*tank. The*frag*tank is only for acans chalices and zoas. Do I need a four bulb fixture or two is enough.Option of bulbs coral plus blue plus ,actinic blue plus ,coral plus actinic.Any ideas guys.

Or should i get a four bulb fixture.

I had the same situation, went with two t5s and it was too dim, a big disappointment... I say go with four bulbs even with the corals you say you want to keep or get two par38 led bulbs...
