    I'll agree with you on the older coralife stuff. the PC light i have on the 90 now as a temp sucks. The fixture is flemsy, lunars are dim, not quality at all. But I bought one of the 30" ones for my 30g and it was incredibly bright.

    Well going T5 would save a ton of cash... so even with hardy sps I should have no concern?

    Would it be better to do a 6 bulb versus a 4 bulb?

    Six would be good but some of your soft corals and lps(depending how high you put them) might not like it.
