my new 600 litre tank is in need of a lighting system.
it comes with a light system but i don't think it's not very good i'll find out what it's called once the tank arrives in 2-3 days time.
i have a T5 compact light system 55w twin x2 i know these are good but not the best quality of light systems but i will keep that to add light.
my question is what are good models/company makes are there that can allow me to keep anemonies and corals.
i just need a few names of lights or companys so i can choice and viarity.
thanks for any info

Do you know the dimensions of the tank?
IMO look into either metal halide or T5ho. For a larger tank (and one with a canopy) a retrofit is probably the best way to go. The Luminarc halide reflectors are probably the best available, and if you went T5 then the Icecap would be your best buy.
I'm assuming you're from outside the US (litres). Have you looked at the ATI powermodule? Whole lot easier to get anywhere else but here...
