Recently, my Coralife PC ballast died, and I'm considering other lighting systems.
I have a 90 gallon UniQuarium with "fish swimming space" dimensions of 47 inches long by 13 inches wide by 23 inches tall.
I only have live rock now, but would like to introduce corals and maybe even anemones and clams eventually.
My aquarium has a canopy, so I assume I'll need some kind of retrofit kit. I have read a lot of good things about T5s, but I'm not sure how many I need--I'd rather err on the side of too much light that too little. I'm hesitant about halides because of the expense and the heat produced, but I know they generate a lot of intense light.
I could REALLY use suggestions--the fish stores around here are either ignorant or out to sell you the most expensive stuff possible whether you need it or not.
