8 x t5 h.o 12" deep tank

[phyto4life]

thanks i just wanted to get a lot of people opinion's


I originally was going to get a 150 watt mh with 4 t5 h.o then I was thinking of going with a 250 watt with 4 t5 h.o then 8 t5 h.o

so I settled with 6 which if it's too much I'll just raise it a bit

but at the same time I am torn a bit because I see peoples large tanks that have 10 t5 h.o that have paly's the size of a loony almost

maybe its because they have a huge fish population along with light??

any sweet spot secrets for a zoa/paly only tank 29G/15G sump?

going on my 7th year of having a reef tank and I am still confused now lol

just don't want to go with too much light and have the opposite effect.
