I would like to put corals and annenome's in my 55 galon tank and searching through all the lighting posts is making me dizzy. I dont think I want to run MH because as I understand they eat up electricity. So I was looking at this T5 fixture and its in my price range.
its a 4 x 54 watt unit and if I understand correctly t5's work a little differntly as far as watts per gallon. At 216 its almost 4 per gallon, but in reality it would be as good as a 4 x 65 CF unit right?

anyway im not sure what corals I would like to keep as saltwater is all new to me, but I would like a good assortment. Just wanted to know if this fixture would be good enough for me.
thanks.
