Hello TR, I am setting up a new 90gallon surf line tank. I do have a previous thread on swapping tanks if u need to look back.
My question is i am upgrading my 55 gallon tank to a 90 gallon tank. I now have a Coralife Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture 65 Watt coralife 48 inch lunar aqualight 48 lunar aqualight (http://www.marineandreef.com/Lunar_Aqualight_48_inch_Coralife_p/res53406.htm). I know this is not enough lighting for the new tank. I plan on doing a LPS and Soft coral tank with 95lbs of LR and fish, and inverts. The new light i am looking at is this http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/Sunlight_Supply/Tek_Light_Fixtures/48_inch__8x54W_Tek_Light_T5_High-Output_Fixture_w!_Bulbs_(Black)_by_Sunlight_Supply . Will this be enough for my new tank? Or will it be to much for the tank? As i need to pick my own bulbs with this setup is there any suggestions on them? There is so many different ones out there how does one now which one to get and what color does what?
Also this will be in a canopy top. I figured I would just add 4 fans in the top for cooling the light.
Thank you in advance
