6 or 8 bulb light
Have a 125 that is 48"x24"x25". Trying to decide between a 6 or 8 bulb. Wanting to keep bubble tip anemone, LPS, and softies. Looking at aquaticlife 6 bulb and ATI 6 and 8 bulbs want opinions. Currently have a unknown brand 4 bulb pc and a 2 bulb aquaticlife fixture on the tank.

6 bulb should do just fine. I run ati 8 bulb on 48x24x24 sps dominate and bleach lps on sand bed wit light hung 10 inches above water. I wouldn't buy any other t5 fixture but a ati. I love this light.

6 bulb will be plenty for that size tank and for LPS and soft corals. No problem.

Ok thanks. Is the aquaticlife a decent light or should i go with the ati. I really just don't want to hang
a light from the ceiling or wall putting house on the market in 3 months.

For hanging a fixture, you could buy an artisan lamp tree or make your own. They appear to be easy to make - many examples in the diy forum.
Regarding which T5 fixture, I think the overwhelming consensus will be the ATI. |
