Hey yall
I'm planning on buying a "Tek Light T5 Fluorescent Lighting (6 bulbs)" for my 72gal bowfront.
My question would be....... what can I keep as far as corals, sps, anemonies...etc.
This is going to be my "New Years" gift to myself....lol
Tks

Anyone else??
IF you have a good fixture with enough bulbs for your tank size. ANYTHING and everything is the limit.
Look at Fankers t-5 question thread
https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=238170
Ask on there what kind would be good for the tank you have. That one may or may not be quite enough *SHRUGS* He would know.

You should beable to keep anything you want under that lighting. I had 8 T5's on my 150, and they were nova's, I understand they are not as good as the tex, so you should be fine with the 6 tex bulbs. I have a clam, anenome and some sps. I did replace 4 of the lights with MH because the fixture broke, and I had a MH fixture in storage, so thats what i am using now.
