Can T-5's Sustain a RBTA?

[NyteReefer]

Can 4 54w T-5's Sustain a RBTA in a 55g tank? 216 wts all together. Standard 55g

Good question. I was about to ask the same question.

How much watts of T-5's are needed to sustain an RBTA?

Look into a nova extreme pro, has 6 bulbs, cost about 350. I have 1 of that and everything is doing great even the rbta.

I got my RBTA under PC's (285 Watts) in a 90 gal

 

[vetdog]

absolutely. I have to keep moving corals because the anemone is growing so big.

 

[osprey77]

yep, t-5's work very well for RBTA's

 

[Gig 'em]

Of course!

remember watt per gallon is a horrible measurement of light.

BTA's in general are very lenient on lighting.

I have 2 RBTA and 1 GBTA under my T5's and they are doing well. I have the ReefGeek 4 T5 retrofit setup on my 55g.
