I've started a reef tank and I have some hardy coral that I've bought that looks like it is starving for more light. I dont really want to go with the MH lights cause my tank is only 55g and I dont want to buy a chiller
.
So it is a tossup T5 or Power compact, Someone please help her is a pic of the zoos that aren't opening all the way

Defintiely go with T5 with individual reflectors for each bulb. Either a TEK or Aquatinics would do you nicely.

What kind of lights do you have now? I guess it would depend on what corals you have now and plan on getting. T-5's are better, but might not be necessary if you're just keeping softies and zoos.

The nova fixture would work descent. if i were you, i would get a tek t-5 fixture. My buddy had one on his 55 and grew acros and other SPS like crazy.
