Any think I can get lots of growth and color

Thinking MH with Radium bulbs would be the best for growth and color, but not for coverage for a 48" tank unless you had 2. Next best thing is T-5's.

Am think may be a 6 t5 light

2 250 MH will do if you want growth and 14k will do.

I would go with 6 bulbs t5

I put my frags under relatively lower light after fragging. My frag tank has two T5 strips. My newly cut frags seem to do better this way. I do have a nanobox LED fixure under one end of the frag tank for SPS frags, or well-established chalice frags that I want under higher lighting.
