Hi, I have a 62Gallon custom glass tank (36X20X20) and really could use some advice on lighting. It is gonna be a LPS/softies tank only, and it will have a standard 6" canopy, and NO chiller, i'm really having trouble deceiding between PC/T5ho/VHO's, I was leaning toward
T5's,(sunlight tek retros) and was thinking 4-39w lights would be enuf for this setup. Do you agree? or would you recommend other lighting? MH is really not an option. Any comments would be appreciated, this is the only part of my new setup I have been strugling with, and could really use some advice.

thanks for all, and any comments.

Mike :D

I think for what you plan on keeping the T-5's would work well. VHO's are a good option as well, VHO actinic's can't be beat. Personally I wouldn't use PC's.
