Innovative Marine Nuvo 30L T5 Lighting?

Agraves77 · Jun 6, 2017

I have decided im going to run a T5's on my Innovative Marine Nuvo 30L. Coralife makes a 2 bulb and a 4 bulb fixture. Relatively inexpensive. So here is my questions:

1.) How many bulbs do you think would be enough?
- The tank is 36" Long x 10" deep (The Display Portion) x 11" High. (Approximately)

2.) What would you all recommend for the bulb selection??

3.) I am wanting to keep a mixed reef. So everything from zoas to SPS. Which would you all recommend?

The 4 bulb will make you very happy.
The 2 bulb will be ok, and you could add an inexpensive led strip with a timer and ramping. Bit it may look a bit messy. With a shallow tank and the coralife mounts low(4in 6 in?) It should give you about 4oo to 600 par at the top[ of the tank.

for an inexpensive strip look at the current orbit marine used on ebay.

The general standard tube combo is ati C+ B+ (coral plus blue plus)
