6x54 T5 setup keep any coral?

[srothenberg]

I have a 75g setup now with a PC setup and looking to get new lights. I'm looking at the Nova Extreme Pro or whatever 6x54 T5 setup with individual reflectors. Can I keep SPS's under this? How about clams on the sand bed? I'm trying to stay away from MH due to the cost.
Thanks,
Steve

The SPS thing definitely...
Since its a 75, you can probably do clams on the sand bed, if they don't do well just move them up.
If it was a 90.. I'd say no to clams on the sand bed though.
I'd probably recommend an open top though to keep light penetration high.

Swap out the Current bulbs for something better like Geisemann, ATI, or UVL and you should be fine.

Well the unit I wanted was out of stock so I went with a 2x250w MH with 4x54w T5 setup by Current USA. I hope it all works out.
