Default Hey everyone......

This is the first time i have ever done a forum but some people at my local fish store said this would be a great way to get info. One of my first questions is LIGHTING...... I want to run T5s on my tank but dont know if I should buy a pre made fixture or build my own and have a refector for each bulb? Would it make a big differance???? Thanks eveyone.

My tank is a 30 gal. oceanic cube (20x20x20) roughly. I would like to turn it into a mini reef.
