[beau758]

Im looking to brighten up my 120 48"x24"x24". I read an article about a beautiful sps tank with only t5s over it. July issue rk mag. so what i want to know is can i drive 48" 54w t5s with a ice cap 660 and if i do will it make them like 80w bulbs. and how many can i drive and still get the extra wattage. and heat?

yes. you can use the 660 to overdrive 4 48inch t5's at around 80 watts...make sure fans are used because they perform better when cooled . you have enough space for at least 8 bulbs
