|  Suugestions Please?!
I have a 75G Bow Front, when I originally started it I was going to just have fish and LR, well I am now getting attached to corals. I have a 48" T5 actinic, and a 48" Power Glo in one unit. Should I get another one of these units, or should a purchase a 48" 260W Power compact (and still use the T5's), or should I stick with 4 T5's? Any other suggestions would be great. _________ 72G Bowfront, Mag 7 Return, Euro Reef RS-80 Skimmer, Reef Geek Retro T5HO 48"x4, Exhaust Fans, 2 Koralia 4's, 20G Sump Modified, 80 lbs. LR, 2" CC Bed, Scopas Tang, 2 Clowns, Green Brittle, Frogspawn, Galaxea, Zoa's, Mushrooms, Star Polyps, Acans, Candy Cane, and a baby Hammer  |

4 T5's would be the way to go. PCs are kind of becoming obsolete in this hobby. _________ 125 Gal Reef.

If I may put my 2 cents in, if I where in your shoes, I would go with MH's. Dont go cheap early in the game b/c you'll end up wanting better lights in the long run when you keep on hearing you cant have that coral or that one too. I had PC's for a while and always was limited on the kinds of corals I could keep.
