I really wanted to get the nova T-5 fixture for my 55.. I wasn't sure whether to get the one that holds 4x54 or 8x54, but your tank seems to be doing great with the 4x54 fixture...
Would you recomend the nova T-5 fixture????? Is that all the light u have, just the one fixture (4x54)????

yeah it's the only light I have and for only $200 it's awsome, I can keep just about anything, haven't tried any sps yet but I'm pretty sure if I put them up a little they would be fine.
With the 8 bulbs I know you could keep anything. But I'll stick with the 4 bulb it works great.

I have a couple of questions:
1. I see u have a anenome, what kind and how is it doing???
2. did the fixture come with a splash guard or something else,so that the lights aren't directly above the water????
3. did it come with 3 seperate plugs....1 for actinics, 1 for full spectrum, and 1 for moonlights?????
4. how often do u have to replace the T-5 bulbs???
Thanks for the help

The 8x54 I think would produce to much heat, especially since I am not always home to monitor my apt. temp. I have one more question. I was wondering what your fish list was for this particular tank????

1 Arrow Crab
1 Purple Lobster
1 Urchin
1 Black brittle star
and some hermits and snails
Are you having any problems with any of these in your tank??? Did u have to wait a while to put the lawnmower blenny in, so the microalgae could build up????
