75 gal tank what do i need for ric's

[goda]

i have a 75 gallon prop tank that was originaly going tob e for sps ( got two 48 inch t5's and an ic ballst) but because i dont haave time to build a canopy right now i would rather just hang two 48 inch shop lights ( each holding two standard 48 inch bulbs) will this be enough for rics or is this the absolute minimum


i could always throw the ic ballast onto a satilite fixute ( two 65 watt pc)

shop lights i think will be to low of light iin my early days i did N.O. bulbs and my rics dwindled down and I ended up losing one of the two I had.

grrr im just not in the mood to make a canopy this week

think two 65 watt bulbs will be ok

i was going to use two t5;'s but decided to save them for a hardcoral prop tank. and since i cant do bothi in the same tank
