I'm not helping here, but I'm pretty sure you typed your tank dimensions wrongly. hehz.

Eh think he mean inches not feet

Clownfish · October 16, 2003

IMO, go for at least T5s lah.... it's easy to get addicted once u start to buy corals....

then u will think of upgrading to MH next :blink:

jazzben81 · October 16, 2003

for ur depth i suppose T5 will be enough for those soft corals.

y not get a 2x 150W MH for around the same price(abit higher plus possible use of a chiller)?

btw i hope ur tank is 10mm.

Go for T5 ATi or MH
