T5 only ??????

Ok im pondering going T5 only on my custom 180g. It is 4'x3'x2'. I have mainly SPS but acans micros and yumas on my sandbed. I was wondering if the 10bulb ATI was good enough for it ? If not then what ?

At 2 feet you will be fine with the ATI

Nikon do you use T5's only ? If so what did you use before the change ?

The ATI 10 bulb will be more than enough light.

At the moment i am only running my 6 bulb tek on my 165 ( thinking about getting a canopy and replacing with a 8 bulb retro) and it is 27" deep. My squamosa is quite happy on the sand so I'm sure acans will do fine, might even have to shade them from the ATI.
