New 55g reef setup help?

i got the 48 inch 216 watt t5 from aqua traders its coming on the 1st should that be good for all coral? if not can i upgrade the bulbs?

 

Don't forget a ballast with reflectors for those T5s

 

what do you mean reflectors and ballast i'm not doing a retro fit

 

If you are purchasing a new hood for T5s make sure it comes with reflectors. This is what makes T5s more effective over PCs. Most do anyhow.

 

UPDATE got 80bs of live rock from pets plus for 150 bucks he did not even weight it , what a cool dude . went from 9.99 a pound to 1.99 to 80lbs for 150 bucks









my light needs to come faster.. its comes the 1st =/ dunno if my free coral is gonna make it ( what is it by the way?)
