Not sure about the theme, but you definately need to change your caption... everyone knows who to go to when it comes to T5's!

Need lighting advice - 120G In-Wall
Need lighting advice - 120G In-Wall
I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I'm planning a 120G in-wall tank for my basement and I've been looking at different lighting options. I'm looking to do a mostly SPS tank with a few reef safe fish. I've been looking at the T5 VHO IceCap SLR retros on reefgeek and I'm trying to figure out how many lights I would need. The tank is the typical 120G (48x24x24). Or perhaps there's a better choice than the IceCaps like a Tek fixture? What bulbs should I get? Since it's an in-wall it won't have a canopy so I can be pretty flexible on the light configuration. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
BTW - There's some great tanks on this thread! I can only hope to do as good.

I just found this thread too and I'm happy to read Big_D's experience with the Powerbright LED's in conjunction w/T-5's. It seems like the best of both worlds!

OK, not having any luck finding "Powerbright" LED's for sale.
Big_D, can you help me out?

I'll answer this but lets not turn this into another T5 Q&A thread
8x54 watt Ice Cap retro would be good. Aquactinics Constellation fixture would also be good. Tek wouldn't be a good choice

I have a 4'- 90gal and want to upgrade to T-5's from PC's (260w). I guess a 324w would do much more than the 216watt T-5, but $ is limited. I like the lunar light feature, but I will gladly give them up for SPS corals. Do you guys have any suggestions? Cheers!

A 4-bulb T5 seems low for SPS growth. You should ask this over in the existing "T5 Q&A" thread and include what you want to spend and whether you need a full enclosure or can do a retro unit. I think they are trying to keep this thread focused on the T5-only tanks that are posted.

Hey got2envy...
that doesn't look bad, but I bet if you added an Aquasun and took out just one of the actinics you would like it alot better.

Oh sorry, meant to tell you what a great looking tank you have! I really like your rockwork.
