Hello All,
I'm in the process of converting my exisiting 110G FW tank to a SW setup.
As part of the equipment purchase, I'm getting confused on what to decide on.
I have a limited budget, so my choices are limited as well. However, I want to make sure that my choice of light would be practically suitable for my current and future plans with this tank.
I'm planning on starting with a FOWLR setup and eventually move to a Reef setup when I'm confident. So, the lighting that I buy now should be scalable to a reef setup in future as well.
My plan is to buy 2 x T8 55W housing and later add another 2 x T8 55W when I plan to move to Reef. Will this work? Or should I go for T5?
If 4 x 55W T8 tubes would be fine, then I would prefer this against T5 due to the cost factor.
Also, I plan to setup a 30G sump with a refugium section with some sand and Live Rock. Whill this require seperate lighting?
Regards,
Ragu
