So I've been out of the game for a little over a year due to my 300 crashing. I'm remodeling and am going to build it into the wall and start over but while that is going on I thought I'd set up my 90 to get some fish and coral going. Already own a 6x24W dimmable ATI sunpower. The tank is a custom rimless with overall dimensions of 36"x27"x20"H. Due to where the overflow is I'll be lighting an area of 30"x27". Would the 6 bulb ATI be enough to grow SPS at the bottom? I'm thinking of just hanging a 4x24W ATI next to it if it isn't.... Thought? Or thoughts on alternatives? (trying not to spend too much!) Thanks!
