So the ZooMed frag tank is 4' by 2' footprint that is 10 inches high. So it is a shallow tank. I am looking at raising LPS/ZOAS/Softies in this tank and I am wondering about how many bulb T-5 fixture I should go with. Right now all my LPS are in my mixed reef that has metal halide lighting so I am not very experienced with T5 lighting. I am between the 4 and 6 bulb fixtures. Please let me know which way you would go and what bulb selection you would go with.....Main LPS I keep are acans, hammers, frog spawn, Lobo's, scoly's.....

By the way this will be a grow out tank and frag tank...so i am looking for good growth, but I dont want it so bright that I cant keep all LPS happy, I am looking to get 4-5 meat corals and i know they are light sensitive.
