20 long lighting

[ga_reef]

Hello,
I was wondering if a 24 inch 4 bulb T5HO fixture be enough on my 20 long for pretty much anything under sun(sps, and clams) I am turning my larger tank into a fish only and giving the metal hallides to my brother for his big tank. I have not even used the tek light I have and was just wondering if it would work or would it be overkill in such a short tank? Oh and it has individual reflectors so I know there will be tons of light. This will be only my second tank I have done with just T5, and the first tank would'nt be a good reference since its a twenty high with just zoa's and mushrooms.

I have a T5 2 24w flouresent compact lighting system. I don't know if you would want it but I'm asking $80.

I think it would be fine

I already have the tek system. I got it in a trade and just never really got around to using it. Thankyou for the offer though.

It should be more than enough. I would love to see some par numbers once you get it set up.
