We are starting from square one. The first attempt at saltwater fish keeping has indeed failed :( and it was an extremely extremely expensive lesson. I thought I would do it perfect right away and be the best reef keeper around holy **** was I wrong or what. So.....square one.

Today’s topic is lighting! I have 2 options T5 or LED. I have 2 t5 38” ballasts and 2 led fixtures I will link to them below. My t5 are 6 bulb each. Question is first what combination for my 75 gallon tank and if the t5 is in that combo which bulbs and pattern have the optimum growth rate. I like it To pretty much look like a blaklight at night but normal-blue during the day.

Lighting depends on the type of coral you want to keep. What are your plans??
