I have a red sea 200xl 24" long 23 wide and 21" tall , mostly lps and was wondering if I should go with 4 or 6 bulb ATI t5 dimmable. Will also be adding a reef brite xho blue as well. The tank is wide so I was leaning towards the 6 bulb but that may be too much light for the coral. Thanks

I would for sure do the 6 bulb but I would consider the 8 bulb also. I don’t really think the dimmable is necessary.

Thanks I think the 6 bulb also. Right now I have a 4 bulb Giesseman on the tank , but the fixture is narrow and I think I would get better coverage from a wider fixture.
