I would do 4 250w with that size tank and then place corals depending on their lighting needs.. ( If the T5 fixture in question was the ATI i would probably go that route) ebay lights also don't have that great of a track record, quality wise that is
i have similar dimensions and got the aquatinics[sp] constellation
which is 72in long. this is currently grim reapers recommendation
for T5 at this size.
<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14975018#post14975018 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by anoy1nce Id say go 3x400w with 20k. Being 30" tall, T-5s nor 250s wouldn't get near as much par on the bottom of the tank as 400s will.
+1 on this... 250MH are recommended on tanks 24" tall or less... T-5's won't reach either. Go with the 400MH's.
I have 4x400w on my tank and its 31 inches tall and its perfect.
