Good day guys,

due to one of my AP700s burning on me for no reason after 1.5 years of service and Kessil support not being able to help but offer a discount for a new light I am thinking to switch to T5s only. Will remove the remaining LED fixture.

My tank is 72in 180 gal, nothing crazy couple of SPS, but want to go more SPS. With ap700 SPS were not happy at all. I am thinking to go with 2x 24in fixtures. So far looking at the Giesemann Matrixx.

Can u suggest how much T5 power I need for SPS ? Never run t5 before

I run the 60 inch 8 ati bulb setup with the DIY kit on my 180g.
Your going to want at least 8 bulbs for a 180 with sps.
