ATI T5 question 6or8

[axle314]

I'm looking to replace my lighting, looking at either six or eight bulb 60" fixture from ATI, going over a 135 gallon, my question is, should I spend a little extra and go 8 bulb or will the 6 work just fine ?
Thanks

You can always raise an 8 or pop two bulbs. You can't lower a 6 or add two bulbs.

8 gives lots of flexibility. A friend has an 8 bulb on her 75 and it is one of the nicest setups I have ever seen.

Thanks for the suggestions , was thinking along the same lines

8, always 8.

I'd agree on 8

I have the 60 in 8 and it's a monster .. Cutting back on hours and raising it for the sweet spot

I'm getting my ATI Sunpower 60" 8x80w in this week. Apparently a very popular item. The 6 and 8 bulb 60" models were on backorder thru ATI. Fortunately their shipment arrived Friday last week. Definitely recommend 8 bulb.
