lighting question

[hammerhead]

I've got a 110 tall I picked up from a club member and I want to use it for mixed reef/fish tank.
It came with an orbit led strip and a double t5 fixture...I added another double t5 fixture. I know this lighting is on the weak side but if I keep the corals in the upper 1/2 of the 30 inch tall tank, do you experienced folks think lps/ zoids will grow?

how deep does that make the tank?

So you have 36" T5 x 4 on it for the main lighting?

Are you trading questions for answers? ;p

 

[hammerhead]

the tank is 29 inches tall, 48 wide and maybe 18 deep

4- 54 watt t5's

I suppose...
But whether e would be successful w this setup depends on how deep he's expecting the lights to penetrate.

IMO 4 t5 is a little weak for a 29" tank... Zoas and soft stuff should be fine... But you're still on the dim side once you get half way down


So long, and thanks for all the fish.

You could rent a par meter and see where your at.

I was joking because the thread was started in the trading and selling forum
