just wanted a few opions on lighting set up for a 40 tall mixed reef
I'm in the final stages of setting up only need to get lights would like to run
T5ho's but thinking that 4x29 wattsmight not be enough. I only have a space of 30x13, I allready have 4x65w PC set-up that I could use but would I be better off with another setup?

T-5 will work fine consider the ability to penatrate the water. T-5 is very powerful IMO.
