Grim-
Thanks for the amazing patience and feedback for all the questions asked to date. I am moving from Power Compact to T5 and need some guidance in the fixture. My tank is 30" x 12" x 14"(to top of sand bed), mixed SPS, LPS, and softies. I would love to get a whole new fixture, but the 30" width really limits my choices. My question is should I get a 4x24" retro, which leaves several inches uncovered along the edges, or should I get a 36" fixture, which would lay directly on the tank and overhang 3" on each side (I would have to tape the overhanging edges to keep the light from bleeding into the living room)? With the size of the tank do you think the 4x24" would be adequate to keep all types of corals? Thanks a lot for any help here.
