Recommendation for a 90g


I'm in the midst of building a 90g setup, I'm going to build a custom canopy so I'd be doing retro's. for lighting.

I got a smok'n deal on 2 175W MH's ($150 ... couldn't pass it up).

I want to do the dawn to dusk thing so what would you put with the MH's. My (very inexperienced) thoughts were 3 54W T5's ... one actinic .... two 10,000k.

This would be for a mixed reef .... maybe some SPS but mostly soft stuff.

Thank you

3*54W Tek retro would be great, but there really sold in two's,.. I would probably go with 2 of them myself, atinic blue, and true atinic for softies and room reasons.

Whatever you do, make sure you get something with the individual parabolic reflectors, I know they are only atinics,.. but you may as well get as much light out of them as you can.
