  2× T5 lamps per reflector?

  Posted: July 25th, 2011, 7:44pm CDT by RocheH

  Hi guys, just a quick one I have one of these fittings it is a 4× 54w T5 I would like to do a mod on it and make it a 6 or 8× 54w. Will it be OK to position two lamps in one reflector? The reflectors are wide enough to accommodate two lamps. Originally only wanted to keep softies but now want to keep LPS & SPS. Some of the bits that make up the tank if you were wondering: Tank size 4FT, Sump all most 4FT, AM cal, AM denit, AM blue 3000……
  
  
  Any advice will be appreciated.
  
  
  PS: The fitting has been epoxy coated it has a splash cover and I have added some cooling fans in the unit two on each end.

  T5's over a 4ft

  Posted: June 23rd, 2011, 11:02pm CDT by RocheH

  Hi all, I was given a T-bay light fitting and want to use it over my aquarium. I am planning on keeping mostly softies and a couple of LPS’s, would 4X 58w T5’s over a standard 4ft tank be enough light to support good growth?

  Hi all, I have a 25L top-up tank with an aqua medic top up controller. Now the thing is can you mix all your supplements like magnesium, strontium........ All in the same top-up water “R.O” for your daily water evaporation.

  Hi all. As you all know I’m new to the form the site looks great & very helpful. Anyway many years ago we “dad/I” had a marine setup, now I’m on my own & going to try it again but on a much smaller scale 4FT standard. Well I got most of my equipment now I just wanted to know if this will do for a SPS tank.
  Setup: 4ft tank+overflow, sump 115×40×40cm total vol ±430Liters
  All Aqua medic CAL1000, NIT1000, Ocean light ×6 T5’s, turboflotor Blue3000, OR3500, WAVE, all the controller bits............top up. PS: tank is not running yet still doing some reading cause a lot has changed in the last couple of years. Any advise will be great thanks.
