Is a 4 Bulb t5 fixture enough for a sps dominant biocube 29? I have LED’s I just don’t like it. This is the smallest tank I’ve ever had and I’ve always run MH on the larger tanks. Went LED because of heat issues and all the bells n whistles that you can do with them, but honestly don’t like them. Any input is appreciated
Thanks
Chris
 
Allot of people kept sps dominant reef with just t5's before LEDS took over the market. I think you could do it if you had the right HO fixture. Would you be retro fitting the t5's into the biocube lid or removing the lid? Im actually trying to retro fit 18" bulbs into my canopy for my biocube.
 
No hood already
I’m undecided on 4 bulbs or 6 bulbs
