Needed some advice. I currently have a 29g 30in wide and about 14 1/2 in tall that includes the sand. My question is I own a nova extreme t-5 fixture w/4 bulbs 2-420nb actinic & 1-10k, & 1-20k all 24watts. My tank mainly consists of sps and 3 clams. I by no means can afford a new fixture, so will replacing all 4 bulbs w/40watt bulbs benifit my corals? The new bulbs will be 2-12k actinic white & 2 super actinic.
I would try to fit, the IceCap SLR's in there with some new bulbs and your fixture will be far more superior than with that one reflector it has now, tust me it makes a huge difference. There is a thread on here somewhere that explains how to put SLR's into your Nova Fixtre. I wanted to do it to my old Tek fixture but come to find out the one that you can replace the reflector on is the nova. Good luck.
