6 tek sunlight t5 over 30g, is it too much

[vanquishxxxx]

Is that too much for a 12deepx18widex36long? If I keep lights 10 inches off water?

IMO it will be just fine.

it'll be fine, you can get away with 4 but 6 should be good. if you see bleaching or receding on any corals, and if you can just increase the height of the light above the tank.

Yea I already had it so didn't wanna buy another light. U think if I raise it to about 12-15 inches off that it would be good?
