(4 x NO T5 lights) VS (2 x HO T5 lights)

Which is a better choice??? If I were planning to keep LPS,soft corals...and clams possible??

2 X T5 HO are generally good enough for most LPS , softies provided ur depth is not more than 18inches .

As for mi i will go for 2xT5 HO as if i feel that the lighting is not enough, i can add another 2 more. with 4 HO , u can keep most stuff. And good T5 HO tube is easy available as compare to NO.

As for clam , i dun feel that with 2 T5 is enough for it to thrieve.
