Hey everybody im planning my first saltwater reef build for a 29 gallon
30L x 12D x 18H. i was looking at the tek t5 24" x 4 bulb fixture. is this an overkill?

No such thing as too much light! I say go for it, or jump on the LED bandwagon

That's the tank I have, and that's the light I use.

What bulbs/ order do you use?

Blue plus, purple plus, new generation, blue plus.

I run the fixture without a splash shield and I've got a small fan Cooling the bulbs as well which adds about ten percent more PAR (unless your fixture is already fan cooled of course!)
