A few basic questions:
1. I know SLR reflectors are considered the best, but is this is mainly for depth penetration? For a 16" deep tank, Tek reflectors are probably just as good?
2. Since the Tek reflectors are only 2", I was going to retrofit 5 T5's over my 20H. For softies and LPS, is 5x24W HO overkill? Note I currently have 2x65W PC.
3. I understand an Ice Cap 660 could run all 5x24", but would it overdrive them to 40W each? Are there any single ballasts that can run all 5 lamps at HO?
Thanks,
Ryan

5 lamps in tek reflecors would be fine if they will fit. I think a Fulham workhorse 8 can drive 5 24 watt lamps. www.fulham.com
