well its not bad... its just that if you want to go reef which it seems like you do being that there is already a colal in there, you are going to need to get much stronger lights...

im not really sure, Ive never tried to get a lighting fixtured for that big of a tank.
Most of the time they come in fixtures. For my 29 gallon i got a 30 inch fixture that came with fans to cool the lights off. Im not sure if they would have a long enough fixture so u might have to buy more than one. You should try talking to someone who has about the same size tank.
Just so you know it is still going to cost a good amount of money.

well... what corals are you looking to keep? but as far as what you have said so far it seems like you want the best but are limited in space so this is one tank which i would say go with T-5's. Although i am no expert on T-5s they seem to be the best lights in your case although i think MH is the best but some would debate that. well any way make a new thread in the equiptment formumk asking for T5 help... you should get a lot.

whats the brand... i would still start a thread on the equiptment forum asking if that brand is a good brand because i know that if t-5s are set up wrong they wont be much better the PCs. ive heard that one of the greatest factors in T5 in determining how good they will be is if each bulb has its oen reflector, if they each have their own thats good if they all share one reflector thats bad.

Watch that crushed coral. it will trap stuff in it and make your tank unstable. you will need to vacum it often.
no more cc its all sand now
