T-5 lighting and tank height?

[yoboyjdizz]

Was wondering what is the tallest tank height people have used t-5's on? and what were they able to keep? lps? soft corals?

Ive heard that most corals (SPS included)will do just fine under T5 in 18" of water. More than that and you really chould get a 250W HQI

yeah i was thinking the same my plan is 250w halides but i seen some killer t-5 setups and starting wondering how powerfull really are they.

t5's are best in tanks under 24"
