    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.

    I think were talking bout the same thing, I just got mine they are 216w just like those
    except for the fixture just a little different, but the watts per bulb is 54w also.
    really bright!!!

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