t5 lights

[rossi]

ATI has 6 or 8 bulb 36in lights. I will have soft corals may have some
stony corals should I get the 6 bulb or the 8 bulb ? The 8 bulb is only a
little more it will be on 24in deep tank thank you

i run an 8 bulb ati sunpower dimmable so i understand your dilemma in deciding which to choose. the sps will be able to handle 8-bulb brightness but you'll probably have to be strategic in placing the softies.
either way, some things you need to consider is that you'll probably be dimming yours down and hanging it a little higher than you think as well as they're very bright at 100%.

I would go with 8 bulb. If you end up going heavy sps you won't need to buy another light. With softies just dim it down or remove 2 bulbs if it becomes a huge issue.
