what lighting do i need

about to buy a 5x2x2 (560L) the fish shop wants me to put in aqualina double compact and moonlight with 96w compact fluro + 55w compact fluro or a t5 with 2 blue and 2 white tubes..........any suggestions

 

Thats about a 140 gallon tank. If your planning on keeping a reef tank you will want to go with more wattage. If its a fish only then those lights would be ok.

 

What do you want to keep in the Tank?

 

I would go with the T5's (even if its going to be an all fish tank). If you get the t5s you could always tranfer over to reef later

 

i want to keep corals and fish . are the t5s ok?

 

Definitely, they might be a little more expensive (i guess it depends where you shop around) but they are worth it.
