Hi,
My 90 gal is about 10 months old. I bought the whole setup used. I just changed my t5 ho bulbs. I really like the color, but dont know if i have enough for all types of corals. From front to back here is what i installed.
ati true actinic
ati true actinic
ati blue plus
ati 12k aquablue special
Note - unit is retrofitted under my canopy and is 7" above the surface of the water.
also in the front of the unit I have two white led strips 4 bulbs each. and 2 strips of lunar led.
my tank is 48" * 18" * 24" I have a 1 to 1.5" sand bed.
Currently have Zoa's, gondiopora, mushrooms, and some polyps.
 
For the softies u have anything is ok lol I grew mine under 2x T5 one 6500K and one Actinic. Slow growth but it was there. I would maybe lower your light seems a little high.
 
I thought they were a but high. I just bought a 6 bulb aquaticlife fixture used, but i have to send it in to get fixed. I will install this unit about 3-4" above the water. With a 6 bulb t5 ho, I should be able to keep any corals hopefully???
Thanks for your time.
