    Well I have myself a 55 gal. tank. I love it. It is my first setup and it's going strong. However, I want to upgrade in the distant future, wish it could be now, and am looking at either a 75 or 90. I really don't want to go with metal halide lighting for my own reasons. My question is whether anyone with a 90, or anyone else's opinion, runs T5 lighting. From my understanding, the standard 90 gal. tank is 24in. deep. Will T5 suffice for this depth?
