How long is your tank?

54w are pretty long. Also Check your width and make sure they all fit in there. I have 4 on my tank which is 18" wide and its pretty tight, maybe room for 1 more if I put them really close to each other.

The good thing about having 6 bulbs is not just the light output alone but also the color combination. You can move the bulbs around and get the color just like you want it.

The quality of the T5s is a combination of the ballast,reflectors,and bulbs. So do some google searches and look for reviews before you buy.
