    I am designing a 100 gallon aquarium. And I am planning on using 4 T5's for my lighting. 2x 54Watt 10000K bulbs, and 2x 54Watt Actinic lights.

    Is this sufficiant for coral groath?

    Would be OK for a softies tank. If you are looking to do a mixed tank I would put in blue bulbs for the actinics. You might be able to get away with only changing out one bulb.
