 Yet another lighting question Hello everyone, Today I went to switch my tank light on , and boom! The flourscent light ballist made some fire works. So now its time to do an upgrade. My tank right now is a 36 gallon fish only but i would love to add some live rock and coral one day after I get the hang of things. (I've only started about a month ago) I would like to buy a decent light that would be suffecient for a reef tank and hopefully last me quite a while. I've been lookin at the T5 lately and so far I've been leaning toward going with that. Do you guys think this would be a good choice? Will it fit my needs as I get more into the hobby or will I have to upgrade again in the near future. Also if you have any other lighting recomendations please let me know.  |

| T5 would definitely allow you to keep corals. They don't run as hot as MH. Be sure that you get a light that has individual reflectors on each bulb.
