Hello,

I am looking to upgrade my lights to T5's My tank is 6 feet long, 3 feet wide and 27inches deep. Any recommendations on lighting fixtures would be great.

Thanks for all your help!!!
 
That's a huge tank..about 300 gal. ;)
What kind of coral do you want to keep and what's your budget?
 
I have soft corals right now but I want to keep some brains, I have a hammer coral, cynarina. I just want the ability to add more just because im spontaneous and buy something every week. I just want to have a better lighting system for their overall health. I would like to spend under 800.00

Thanks
 
I setup 2 36" T5 fixtures on my 6' tank (FW). 4x39W each for a total of 312 watts. You can get 6x39 or 8x39s as well. Just saying, you don't need to use a single 72" fixture.
