lighting for corals?

[Morganj2]

ok, thanks, i was looking around online and i found this http://www.contractorlighting.com/high-bay-fluorescent-4lmp-t5ho-120277-p-152.html
its t5 ho but would that work for lighting a reef tank? i just want to learn as much as possible about the lighting as it seems to be somewhat complicated lol

Only if each bulb has an individual reflector.

[Pufferpunk]

That's ok, if you can afford a fixture, by all means buy one!

 

[Morganj2]

thanks for the help

 

[Pufferpunk]

Sure & when you're ready for corals, I ship!

 

[Morganj2]

ill keep that in mind, it'll probably be at least a few months before i purchase any

 

[Pufferpunk]

Yep, take your time, patience is the key to this hobby.

a t5ho fixture is good for a reef tank?
