Will a reef tank thrive on a metal halide bulb alone, or does it need T5's to supplement? My tank is 50 gallons and about 20 inches high. It came (it's a used tank) with a hood that just has one 150 HQI bulb and two moonlights. Do I need to upgrade to a hood that will support PC's or T5's if I want a true reef system?
