[okieman98]

my new tank is 48 w 24 d 30 high looking for a good reef fixture want t-5 , how many bulbs across and so on thanks

4x 46 inch t5 should work just fine for you.

Bulb color is your personal choice.

I have 8 across on my 150.

 

[okieman98]

ok thanks will 4 be enough for corals and things

 

[chaderic26]

I think 4 with reflectors would be ok for softies maybe some hardier stonies. Some stuff might brown out. What kind of corals do you want to keep?

I have a 48" 8 bulb Tek i would sale. It is a great fixture I have just decided not to go back to a bigger tank. Bulkreef supply says 19 1/2" front to back. Here is the link. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store...es/sunlight-supply-tek-light-t5-fixtures.html
Let me know if you are interested.

I'd say a 6 bulb TEK light, or better yet, a 6 bulb ATI light. I have a TEK light and love it. I hear the ATIs put down a lot more PAR, but they do cost quite a bit more.

I run 6 bulbs on my t5 set up, but I'm a fan of retro's. your choice and set up. For bulb choices check Grimreefer's home page! If the link doesn't work just pull up grimreefer here on RC and you'll see his home page. He knows what he;'s doing for sure. I've used several of his combo's and won't change it again. On the # of bulbs to use depends on what you want to keep. 4 will do you fine on most everything, but 6 will give a little more par and give you better options on color you like. JMHO Good luck!
