Tek 4x54w T5HO Lighting

[extinct 1ne]

Hey there,
I am planning on getting some SPS for my reef tank and was wondering if this light would be enough. My tank is 55 gallons. Each lamp on this light has individual reflectors.
Thank you,
Justin

You should be fine, if you have them close to the top. I would suggest a 6 bulb instead because you can have more, better combinations of bulbs. With a six bulb, you could keep just about anything.

I know this is going to sound cheesy, but do you think I could bump that lighting fixture up with my Current USA Nova Extreme 2x54w. Then I will basically have 6x54w. Although it might look weird...

u fine. just place sps at top half of tank.

Yes, also, you could take them apart and use them like a retrofit kit and make a hood for your tank with them in it. I have done that.
