    I have a 90 gallon tank with approx 75 lbs of LR, no coral yet, but I will add some once my tank stablizes some more. My question is that I just bought a T-5 lighting system with two white sun wave bulbs and 2 blue coral wave bulbs, and I was wondering if this will be enough light to use when I put coral in the tank

    Are they t-5 bulbs?

    If so, then it should work for softies, leathers and some LPS. You might, just might be able to get a low light SPS at the top of your tank.

    Yes they are T-5 bulbs its a HO system, I want to say that its about 216 watts, and I'm not sure what type of corals, I haven't researched the different types, but I will look into it. Thanks
