T5 nova extreme 48inch for a 55gal

[clownfish11]

okay so im getting a T5 nova extreme light fixture for my 55gal, and i have a few questions...
what can i keep(corals) with this light?
What should i use as a lid(under the light)?
thanks
any other input about the fixture is greatly appreciated

i am assuming this is the regular nova? not the pro? if its the regular one, then u can keep pretty anything except sps and clams. sps and clams, u could keep but must be near top. the nova comes with acrylic splash guard, so u can just put it above ur tank with its legs.

You could use egg crate or glass lids.And that light will be fine for everything except some of the higher end sps.I would recommend putting and clams up towards the top though.I have the same light in my 55.What do you plan on keeping in there.

zoos, polyps, shrooms, rics, mby a clam, xenia(mby), leather, umm stuff like that

Glass lids would be ok for you up north,Ive got a 55g with the same light and had to go to egg crate here in Florida,Temp. went up to much with glass.Hope that helps.
