Jakuson Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Currently have a 2ft(length) x 18inches(width) x 18inches(height) with normal Dymax 2 tubes NO lights(14w white lights/14w atinic)...Have some soft corals like zoos, mushrooms and star polyps...all doing very well...Now thinking for more corals of other types... So I decided to change the lightings so that I can keep LPS and SPS corals and also clams... Am wondering if I need a 2 tubes or 4 tubes T5 HO...Planning to buy from DE lightings...Which is better??
