Lighting for SPS
I am looking to get lighting to support SPS
I have a 29 Gallon tank. I am looking at 6 24w T-5 HO bulbs. Is this enough light to support them? |

If that's definitely enough light for SPS can I get away with 4 24w on a 29 gallon as well?

I use 4X24 T5 on my 29.
Very nice lighting, and more than bright enough for SPS. Look in my gallery for pics. |
