300 gallon all t-5

[lunker]

Does anyone have a 300 gallon all t-5 lighting?, what would the bulb layout be?, how many?

Well, it depends on the dimensions. What dimensions were you looking to use and what corals will be in the tank?

I have a 300 lit by 10 rows of T5s

Tank is 96" L X 30" W X 24" T

Bulb layout is on my build thread.

yes

yes

I have a 300G 96L30W24H I have a 12" tall cannopy to work in. The lights are 2x8 bulb 48" fixtures with reflectors built in. these are staggard slightly to allow for the powercords. Then to "square out the light" i put another two bulbs on the empty sides, just 48" icecaps retrofits w/reflectors. TONS of light. No PAR readings yet but hope to soon.

I have T5s over a 96x36x25.5 - still a new tank, so no success stories yet. My bulb configuration was suggested by GrimReefer over the the T5 Q&A Thread in the RC Lighting,Filtration & Other Equipment forum...

My bulb selection and construction is described in our build thread...

I have all T-5's over my 280g 72x36x25. I have one of the ATI 10x80w fixtures. Looks great but still getting off the ground so no info on coral growth yet.
