if you read the comments.. he says what bulbs he is using.. but i dont understand him and from the looks of it, neither do several others.. anyone know this guy, or understand what he means when he is saying

ATI bulbs 2x daylight 2x Actinic
4x54 watt HO T5's. The daylights at 2x18k and 2x 460nm actinics.

Keep in mind with T5's..your video you posted is a tank will all softies and only 2 SPS's I can see and they are on the very top of the rocks. If that is the type of reef you plan on growing then they will suit you fine.

yea .. he also has 4 less t5 bulbs and 216 watts less than i will , but i understand what you are getting at. i will have 8x54 watt t5's w/ indie reflects.. most likely overdrived w/ ice caps pushing them to 80 each, for a total of 640 watts of t5 w/ ir's... should support sps fine from what ive read and talked to others - i dont plan to have much sps anyways though, but if i chose to, i would think they would be fine if kept towards the middle of the tank w/ that much wattage.. what do you think otty?

Sounds like you are all ready dead set on them so I hope you don't find out you have wasted your money and have to upgrade later on.
