nova extreme pro
i have been trying to figure out if i have enough light in my tank
i am running a nova extreme pro 6 light if each t5 daylight is 54 watts then do i only have a total of 162 watts? do the actinics count as wattage i should have around 450 watts +/- that doesnt seem so extreme please enlighten me the tank is a 90gal 24" deep 48" wide 18" front to back Current Aquarium(s) Description: 90 gallon, 30 gallon sump, nova extreme pro, Oceanic 72 gallon bowfront 20 gal sump, 10 gal fuge Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 7 months Other Intrests: collecting guitars, reefing, family time

Re: nova extreme pro
all the lights count, corals need actinic lighting also, i have 72" nova pro i just got recently. Still using the bulbs it came with but when i change them i'm going with this setup:
Front ATI Blue Plus ATI Pro Color ATI Actinic ATI Aquablue ATI Blue Plus ATI Aquablue back this was recommended by grimm reefer from reef central who is the t5 guru so i will try these in ati or geisemann bulbs.

Re: nova extreme pro
with t-5's the watts per gallon rule doesnt apply, and also with the extreme pros, all the bulbs have IR which make it as intense of lighting as if you had a 12 bulb T-5 setup

Re: nova extreme pro
I run the 6x54w nova pros on my 150g tank. 150g tall by the way. 30" deep. I can succesfully keep pretty much anything in my system. Just have to space it out right. (SPS and clams in the first 12") (Lps 12"-24ish) everything else lower. On the bottom of my tank I have zoas and candy cane and a birdsnest...
I have SPS LPS softies clams... all do well  hope that helps you out. Oh and I also run 12hr lighting cycle.Current Aquarium(s) Description: 150g, 24g,8g Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: About 1 Year Other Intrests: Computers, Robotics

Re: nova extreme pro
You have plenty of light for everything.Like Goodman said ''it's all about the placement''.
IR is short for individual reflectors.
