I'm building a fixture to house to reefbreeder photon 16s and t5s. Question is, should I go with the 4 bulb retrofit or 2 bulb? It's a 55 gallon. I want to supplement the LEDs with t5s for color but I wNt to make sure I don't toast my corals. Any idea?
 
I have a 6bulb ati fixture and it just doesn't do the same in terms of growth as the LEDs. The LEDs don't do the same in terms of color as the t5s. I'd like to try the combo to see if I can maximize color and growth.
 
I'd go with the 4 bulb kit, more light, more options.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
