    Right now I have 1 48" T5 High Output 2x54W on my 75G which measures 48x18x20, and I am now thinking of adding a light fixture to it because I want to change it to a reef tank from a FOWLR, and I am debating on adding another 48" T5 High Output 2x54W or I am thinking of adding 48" 4x54W Coralife Lunarlight PC High output, which one od you think it's better?
    the 2x54 T5 HO or the 4x54W PC?

    I would go with t5's. They're just a better all around light.

    Yup.....My two favorite choices are the TEK 8x54W T5 array with UVL bulbs or the Nova Extreme Pro 8x54W T5s with UVL bulbs. You would have much light. Given the choice, I would go with the TEKs. They do not have lunar lights, but IMO, they are the better setup. Lunar lights you can add to your system separately.
