You would be better off with a retrofit (if you have a canopy on the thing) since they have individual reflectors.

 

[blind1993]

i think they would do.

i think both will do but i like the second one better.

 

[jwils27]

do you think i could start off with two T5's with individual reflector and the BTA would be fine

 

[blind1993]

ummmm i dont know u would have to ask someone with more coral/ anenome exp. but i think it would live but not happy. just get some used ligthing here it would be better.

 

[jwils27]

if any one has some for sale just let know

 

[blind1993]

post it in the wtb section.

I would go with atleast 4 T-5 on individual reflectors..

[jwils27]

I have a green BTA under 96 watt PCs (the same Coralife fixture that is at Capp Bay, actually) and I think it's doing alright. I feed it a half a shrimp or so a little less than every week. If it starts doing poorly I'll give it to a friend.

with four T5's with individual reflectors would i have any limitations on what i could keep. ie sps

 

[stroid]

you should be able to keep most sps with those lights

At 13" deep, I would say most any coral. If you drive them with an Icecap ballast, you'd have a pretty amazing setup.
