Nope, not enough light. Your going to need 4 54w lamps. You can't skimp on lighting if you plan on keeping those corals. If you do, you will have alot of dead corals.

I have read on forums about them with fire... do you have one?

Have had two odyssea quad T5's for a few years no fires works great. one isthe older style and one like in the link. Fire problems were many years ago on the MH odyssea lights they had a bad batch of ballast.

Im going to hang it so yeah what do I need for em and how many lights?

 

[inurocker]

I didn't mean to be offensive. Just saying I have seen some great deals on leds right here on R2R lately new and used. Also you won't have to buy new bulbs every 6 to 12 months.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Ok, so heres my deal. Jediben doesn't like these but Reef Breeders uses BridgeLux LEDs, so does this unit, and its cheap. They can't be all that bad if a big name that alot of people use say are ok.

Your call, but just as cheap as those T5s. Ok, almost.

 

[inurocker]

2 of those would be less than the the 48" coralife T5
