ohhhh, no no no, sorry missunderstod the question. The t-5 lights are a whole new design in lighting. They use smaller pin connecters, should use individual reflectors and a high output ballast. If you were interested in this type of setup then just spend the money. In the amount of time the lights will work for you and a total dollar of electricity, the unit will have paid itself off maybe 10 times over lol.
If you have a tank that is 36 inches long or greater then the outer orbit pro series is a nice series to look at. They work great for a marketed piece of equiptment. I do DIY most of the time because you can customize the look and place ment of the bulbs depending on where you need them most, and still end up with even lighting.

well ther are watchman gobies that will pair up with a pistol shrimp and live in the same burrow...
or like any kind of goby and a cleaner shrimp or something...
exact same as mentioned earlier. T-5 HO. Are you keeping corals or fish only?? If you keeping just fish, then just get regular T-5. These will be brighter then standard flouros but wont grow as a wide range in corals. If its a FOWLR setup then reg. t5's should do the trick. But you wouldnt even need to spend money and just keep your regular lighting as is. Its all bout what your trying to do lol.
soft corals mainly. Button polyps, most any kind mushroom (some may need to be kept higher in the tank) sun corals like shaded areas so they would work good, some leathers may end up doing good in that tank as well. I wouldnt get anything huge but you should be able to purchase frags of a leather.
