    Hi there, I am thinking of adding two T5 tubes (24W) to my 150 liter tank (at the current stage I got two T5 tubes). What would be best - should I add one tube today and then add the second after a day or two? I am worried that adding the two together may stress my fish / coral.

    Any feedback will be appreciated.

    I agree. I would add one today and the other in a couple of days so as not to stress out or bleach your coral. The fish should be fine eithor way.

    I would wait at least three weeks before adding the second one.8)
