Retrofit SLR T5s on a tight budget
Due to divorce/financial restraints I'm planning on selling my solaris g
 , which I'm going to miss a lot. However I've decided to go with single light reflector T5 retrofits, but I'm not sure where to start.Also, I will only need enough light to sustain a few soft corals until I can afford to add more SLR T5s, I need to make sure I have enough money left over afterwards. What do you reccomend?

Could I get away with two 48" t5s with a single light reflector on each? I currently have a goniopora, clove polyps, zoas and a condy nem.

sjj80, 2 would be pretty minimal, but I think you could get away with it. I would get a Blue+ and an Aquablue for bulbs. What is nice with a retrofit is you can add more bulbs later.
