Hello I'm new and 2 months in!!

Well i just started my 36 gallon bowfront 2 months ago. I've been working on trying to find the best t5 light that is 30 inch wide for it. I think this one is the highest watt one i could find.

Do you guys think this would be enough light to keep some descent coral? I also have other questions but i'll just start with one for now. Thanks everyone!!

 

Hi and Welcome!

Yes that would be enough to keep most corals.

 

Thanks. So do you think i should stay with the 2 and 2 bulb combo? I like this one cause it's the only 4x31 watt fixture i can find. I dunno if the 4x24 watt fixtures would be ok as well. I'm also running to 50 gallon aquaclear HOB right now. I took out all the media and filled them both up with live rock rubble with the sponge on top of the rubble. I was thinking of taken those off and replacing them with a small cpr auqafuge. It only hold 2.5 gallons. Do you think a fuge that small would make that big of a difference in my tank?

 

Personally I would stay with the 4 bulb. There are many different types of bulb configuration options. Try doing a search on this forum T5 lighting you may get a better idea.

No not for the money. Those fuges are a lot more expensive than the HOB. I had a 6 gal CPR fuge on my 28 gal and it did not really make a difference.

If you are thinking of growing some chaeto or other algaes it might be a better idea, but you can mod the HOB for algae as well.
