lighting suggestion for 150 build

kieth · 02/22/2007, 07:40 PM

I currently have a 58gal sps tank with 2-250w de pendants with 20k ab lamps, i am going to upgrade my tank to a 150gal 48Lx30Wx24H, i am going to transfer the 2 250's and want to add 4 48" t5's, would this be enough? any suggestions would be a help, thanks

That should be fine, in my opinion, if the fixture is long enough and spreads the light reasonably well. Ideally, you'd want the bulbs each centered on each half of the tank.
