Light for a 55gal

[coldhybrid]

My wife bought a 55gal setup and its cycled etc. We want to keep lps and soft coral only in it. How many T5's should we have over it? Right now we have a dual fixture on it what can be kept with that atm. We plan on doing a retrofit later on.

We have the aquatic life dual fixture and i hate leds tried them on my big tank and didn't like them got better color and growth from my t5ho and mh setup. Anything keepable under the dual fixture. We have a friend thats gonna give us another dual fixture but was curious if we could keep anything under what we have other than shrooms and gsp

You should have no issues keeping lower end zoas as well or leathers.
