75g Lighting Situation

sixspeed · 04/11/2007, 09:37 AM

Hey, im just starting to get into the hobby again and have a 10g tank cycling here at school. I also have a 75g tank back home which i will be setting up this summer. As of now all i have for the 75g in terms of lighting is a 2x65 t5 what looks to be 10k 50/50 bulbs. How would you guys/gals go about upgrading the lighting so i can keep everything except SPS? I am looking for the cheapest options out there, and wanted to know how you all would go about this upgrade.

thanks

With these and my 2x65w t5's would it be enough light for corals excluding most sps? What are you all running on your 75's or what could you recommend?
