T5 Lighting Questions..

[kano5003]

Hey, I currently have a 400 litre marine tank about 70 gallons. I have a variety of fish and 20 killos of live rock. Lighting i have 2 units 1 T5 3x 54 watts, and the other unit T5 4x 39 watt. These units are bassically brand new from my LFS. Would this be enough lighting for my soft corals and maybe 1 anemone? The local fish store that should be fine for now. And also im planning on getting 20 killos of more live rock is this ok?

Thanks Kane Ellis...

Do the bulbs on the T5s have individual reflectors? Chances are they are fine for your softies but not for the anemone if they don't have individuals.

yeah the anemone should survive with T-5s with ind. reflectors, but most won't thrive under anything but metal halides.
