6 bulbs or 8 bulbs

Hi,

I'm shopping for lighting for a Red Sea Reefer XL 525 that will be sps dominant. I'm not sure if I should go with a 6 or 8 bulb because in addition to the T5s I'll be running 2 reefbrite tech strips.

The tank is 59"x22"x22".

Also what length do you think? 48" or 60"

Vote in the poll!

Thanks.

If budget allows, 8x80 without a doubt.

Really? Even with the reefbrites? You don't think that would be too much?

The T5 fixture will be a non dimmable

Nope, It'll be perfect. SPS will get even MORE light and you'll be able to grow anything in the tank, anywhere
