Hey,
So my little 10 gallon corner tank is doing great and i desided to upgrade to a 75 gallon set up. So far i have the tank and stand all built as well as the hood. Right now im stuck on lighting. I found a 48" T5 light set up. It has a total of 54W x 4. This is a chart that displays the different lumens and all.
My question is will this light be good enough for that size tank. At that wattage it will give me roughly 2.8 watts a gallon. I want to grow some soft corals and stuff. I also found another set up that offers 260w but it is not a T5. From what i have read, the T5 offer more light at less wattage. Is this true. Thanks for your help.
