4 bulb or 6 bulb t5 for 75g

[Theescotland]

Should I go with a 6 bulb or 4 bulb setup t5 for me 75 gallon, mixed reef. LPS and moderate sps?

Seems the more bulbs, the more flexibility as this was a question I was struggling with before deciding on an 8 bulb vs 6 bulb! Just my .02

Oh, and I have a 48 x 24 x 30 150g.

I'd go with 6. Gives you the option of adding more SPS down the road if you want and if you do decide you want to upgrade lights, spending money on a 4 bulb now will be a total loss if you end up replacing it with a 6 anyway.

Awesome, thanks for the quick I put yall. I guess my real question is, 6 bulb isn't to much for a standard 75?

Not IMO, im putting a 6 bulb ATI SunPower on my 80. Although, it will be adjustable by suspension cables.

No, 6 bulb will be fine. I have a 36" 6 bulb Sunpower over a 45g frag tank that's only 12" deep. Get the 6, you will be happy you did. I bought a 4 bulb to go over a 40b for my daughter and I kick myself every day for doing so.
