Great Price!!!!!!
Not certain that would be enough light for ya, unless T-5s do a MUCH better job than CF per watt.
I put my 48 watt dual CF fixture on my 30 cube and the light was a milky yellow, and not nearly enough.
That 36 watt fixture would look nice above your tank, but it's only 36 watts
The 48watt fixture will hang over both sides an inch or two.
If you get it, let me know how it works out for ya! I might get one and retire the 150 watt MH clamp-on

I have a used 20" CF quad 96 Watt Coralife fixture in my consignment pile.
Needs a used lamp but it works - I've tested it.

Probably not, but it will provide more useable light than 48w CF over the same tank. I thought you were going with a tank that didn't require intense lighting?
Well this is Russ' thread, I was just sounding off on that great deal.
My palys and zoas wont open under the phoenix bulb, so I'd say it is far from intense... LOL.
As far as having a low light tank myself, I re-aquascaped and have plenty of room for shade loving lps, so maybe I can have both if I was to go with two 36 watt T-5 fixtures, maybe only needing one and keeping a spare....

Sorry to thread jack. To the OP, 2 of those fixtures should provide sufficient lighting provided you aren't looking to do a full blown SPS reef. It should allow for some SPS in the top of the tank.
I just picked up a 20x20 cube, think I might order me some of those fixtures if I can't find a good deal on a halide I like.

No worries on thread jacking...more the merrier...
Other than a RBTA and 3-4 fish I will mostly have softies and lps...Ive never been a SPS kinda guy but a small clam again would be nice...I may use the compact I have now and put on the T5 from linens and things until I drop 229 on a fixture I found that would even allow SPS if I wanted to down the road...
