T5 lighting for SPS?
Is anybody using exclusively T5 lighting for SPS. Thoughts, opinions?

Are you looking at using it over your 90? I posted the same question way back on RC and Grim (who seems to be the T5 guru) suggested at least 6 bulbs, but reccomended 8

I'm using a 6x54W and had the same question before I bought mine. From what I read on the interenet you can grow sps but near the top of your tank. The person I bought the light from had sps under the light and he said it was ok. I'm relatively new with sps so I'm guessing some of the lower light sps. I don't know which ones though.
Perhaps someone could throw toss some answers here? perhaps? please? hehe.

T5's are great. A perfect option to MH.
If anyone tells you that you cannot grow SPS under T5's I would suggest they have never tried it themself.
