T5 + Reef Brite XHO for 33'' Wide SPS Tank?

[GarrettT]

Anyone know Reef Brite's XHO par output at 18''? I've read post in various threads, but the feed back was all over the place. I'm looking to add lighting to an 8 bulb ATI Fixture to help add coverage to my 33'' wide x 25'' tall tank. The tank will be SPS dominate. Alternative suggestions welcome.

I personally don't own one but Im pretty sure it would be enough with a ATI

They will be 18" from the surface? If that's the case I'd be looking at a bar with lenses like Orphek. Reefbrites are designed to be used close to the surface.

You need to run that ATI fixture in the 8-9" range max for Sps. Even lower is better.

The two added Reefbrites will work fine at that range. You can also get a dimmer/controller if you want.

Just what I needed. Thanks.
