New lighting

Jumbaliah · 08-20-2009, 09:25 PM

I am currently using compact lighting on my 90 gallon reef tank. I am looking to upgrade within the next couple months to T-5 lighting. I have found a unit on drsfostersandsmith but it was around $450. I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations on lighting from other stores. $450 is a possible price, but i would much rather something closer to $200-$300.

P.S. the length of the tank is 48"

That's about what you are going to spend (and possibly more) for a decent light fixture.
