Lighting suggestions for a 33 long

mech · 04/20/2006, 02:07 PM

Hi everyone,

Im trying to decide how to light my 33 long, would a 2x54w T5 fixture be enough or should I go for more, I have some sps corals and I will probably get more

the tank dimensions are 48x13x12. Being only 12" I'm wondering if pc or halides would be a better match. I looked all over for a 2x70w 48" halide fixture but I couldn't find one and I really like the look of a fixture with the stands over a tank , it makes the tank look like a ufo, so I been looking for something along those lines with no avail.

Anyone got some suggestions on lighting this setup?

Thank you.

2 175w MH would be nice.
