    Hi, will be setting up a tank for jawfish and live rock with a few corals. As the tank is only sixteen inches tall , i was looking for a few suggestions on what type of lighting to use? i thought 150 would be too much light, so would really like some input from you all. thanks a bunch ;D

    I have a single 150 halide on my breeder. The light is kind of centered though. I really need to get some retrofit t-5's to put in my canopy.

    I thought about using the 150 then i thought the heat would kill the fish. so how about t 5's? think that might work?:)

    I am using T5's on my Frag tank which is a 30 breeder. Not one issue with heat or anything else. I amd sure that You would be just fine with them.
