T5 Additions

[Cory schulz]

Greetings,

I have a 6 foot 180, with 3 ecotechs. I want to add some dual T5's for the front, but finding a size to my tank has been challenging. Any suggestions for a dual T5 option?

Use 24in in t5's with 3 8in spacings.

brs sells retro kits that you can install your self. thats what i ended up doing.

What combination would you guys recommend? Tagging along :)

I just use a 5' 80watt retro. The spread is there but there is some par drop off on the ends. which is good for lower light corals and not spilling out the ends.

Nice. I have mine down the middle with my setup instead of on the front and back.

Here's my setup and the last post I just put in had some PAR information with just the T5s on.
