T5 retro on 90g

[Prince916]

If i put 6x54watt t5's overdrivin by ic 660 and 430 retro on a 90g 4' long tank, will that be enough to keep sps on the bottom of tank?

Yes, you shouldn't need to overdrive, but it wouldn't hurt, just make sure you have some ledges for shade for any softies you may have.

so yes, you can keep SPS anywhere.

I have the same setup with IC reflectors and I can keep anything anywhere. Sometimes I think it might be too much light.

I have some t5 fixtures laying around, dont know what brand but would it work if i just replace the ballast that it has with ic 660'?

better off to replace the reflectors & install active cooling...

Depnding on the fixture could pose a difficult task to change out pieces. If you did though you would want to change reflectors as mentioned, they are all not created equal; IC reflectors are very good.
