T5 HO Question

I just ordered two 4X54W T5 HO for my 77 gallon tank. They also have night led. Will this finally be enough for corals?? I have a nano where all my corals are now, different button polyps, frogspawn, gelaxia, geniopora, mushrooms, ect. My 77 g has fish, some xenia and a bubble tip anemone who's been there 2 years and quite happy with only the only two T5's on it now so I've been lucky there! Any input greatly appreciated! Also the blues stay on longer than the daylights so I've been reading up?

 

I think you would be ok with the corals you have..

 

With a 4 bulb t5 you can keep quit a few corals. The only limit might be some of the high light clams and sps. And yes most run the antic (blue) longer than the daylight.

 

I ordered two, so I'll have 8 T5 HO's! not 4, thanks guys!

 

Why didn’t you just get an 8-bulb unit?

 

I couldn't find one to fit that tank, she's an oddball, very high rather than long, the measurements for two will fit just fine with no overhang.

 

hope you have enough space for both units! might have to make a custom hood. what brand did you get?

 

from Coralife, not the best but not the cheapest either.
