T5...

Add t5 to it. I'm going to do the same over my tank.

You guys think 4 bulbs will be enough light and spread for this tank?

For me, 4 bulbs is not enough. I just did a frag tank & agonized about lighting. I tried 2 other sizes. My frag tank dimensions are 36x18x12. I got the ATI 24" 6 bulb fixture. It's perfect. Good luck... Ron

Thanks Ron! Will look into a 24 inch fixture. 36 might be an overkill with 6 bulbs

Metal halides work best for me for SPS.

Hamilton Bimini light or Cayman Sun would be a good choice for that size tank - 250 watt 20K

Hey Mike, I have a 24" 6 bulb Coralvue fixture I have never used. With bulbs for $120. Doesnt have the legs though.

I also have a 48" 4 bulb ATI fixture I got off here from beanmachine that I don't think I will be using. Let me know if you're interested in either, I need to pick-up my contacts this week anyways.
