T5 lighting and SPS corals

[balto777]

I am getting ready to purchase an aquarium for my first reef tank. I have experiance with FOWLR tanks in the past. Originally, I had planned to get a 55g tank, but was talked into getting a 50g tank because it is deeper than the 55g. (18 vs. 12)

Anyway, now for my question. I eventually want to keep some SPS corals in the tank. I have decided to use T5 lighting and would like to know if I would have any problem in the future keeping high light SPS corals under these lights.

Thanks for your replies.

I have a 75g with a tek fixture. If you get a good fixture with individual reflectors you should be able to keep most anything. My frags are growing well and showing great color even on the bottom set of rocks.

Hey Ray,
can you post some pics?

Sure, I will try to get some this weekend. I am out of town this week so it will have to wait until then. Unfortunately I don't have any before pictures of when I purchased them to compare, but you can at least see what they look like currently.
