current usa hqi/t5 light?

I have the chance to buy this light for my up coming 75g tank build

the light is 48in 2 150mh with xm14000k bulbs brand new and 4x54w t5 actinic 2 new 460
will need 2 more t5's
and 18 leds


he is asking a really good price and my questions are


what corals would this support?

Would this cause i big heat problem with the built in fans?

Karma and thanks in advance

 

You should be able to keep just about any coral you want with placement based on light need. Get a KZ Fiji Purple or UVL 75/25 or UVL Actinic White for one of the T5 bulbs and maybe a true actinic for the other.

 

You shouldn't have any heat problems. I just replaced my T5 fixture with 2 150w pendants and I have them about 7-8" off the water running 12 hours a day and have no heat issues at all. 150s are considerably weaker then 250w MH. Placement will be more of a concern. If you can I would suggest 2 250w MH if you can, but that light should be fine for soft and lps corals.

 

thanks guy for the responses i would like to have the shimmer effect and option of keeping sps at or toward the top and maybe a clam somewhere do you think thats possible

 

I don't see why he wouldn't be able to keep sps with that much light?

Is that too much light?

 

You shouldn't have a problem keeping those but depending on how high you hang it you could have some heat issues. I have this light really low but I have a chiller so I don't care.

 

the intensity quickly diminishes with depth. simply put, your PAR is not strong enough to get it to where you need it.

to the OP: that light is good, as others have said, you will need to keep sps up high and everything else wherever you want. all should be good

 

that sounds good thats what i planned on top third sps and anything else below that thanks guys its good to hear cause for the price i dont want to pass it up if itll be ok

 

oh. Didn't realize it was that much of a difference. Wish I had.
