Default t6 lights
hey everyone - im glad to be a part of this forum

im just starting out (currently curing my rocks) and will start cycling soon..i want to purchase some t6 lighting that I saw on ebay for my corals, anemones and other inverts

are these t6 lightings durable and are they worth the price (barely $100)?? and they come with reflectors and 4 bulbs at 54w with moonlights.

T-6? are you sure they aren't T-5? if they are you shouldn't have any problems keeping some soft corals, anemones, zoa's, clams and maybe some other similar like corals.

T6 and T5 are different types of bulbs. Cuttingras uses T6, you should pm her and ask her advice on them.
