Oceanic Tech 90 Gallon Lighting

ReefSurfer · 03-05-2008, 01:10 AM

Hi all!
New to reef but not to salt water tanks.
I'm looking to buy lighting for my 90 gallon Oceanic Tech Series tank. I would like to have SPS and clams.
What would you recommend?
T5 vs. HQI?
Good quality brand?
Thanks for your input!

I personally like the Outer Orbit lights by Current USA. At the depth of the tech tank, you'd probably want the 250W HQI versions. If you have the cash, the Solaris LED systems are supposed to be pretty good.

Coralife Pro 48" with two 250W MHs and two 96W actiics.

Solaris I4.

Current T5 Nova Exteme Pro or the Solaris

I'm with Jack and Scott on that one. I would put halides next in line after the Solaris. Two 250s would be about right. I have heard good things about the extreme pro but have never seen or used one.
