my plans are to only have "easy" Soft corals in my 75 gl. this is my first Saltwater tank so plan to just get my feet wet. I have a 48" T5 Light Fixture with the ability to hold 2 - Bulbs.
it is my understanding that these Soft "beginner Type" Corals require much less intense lighting than a full blown Reef system does.

My question - will this Fixture be enough and which 2 bulbs would be the best to have??
thanks
 
[h=2]1 10000K T5 ho withe Bulb and 1 T5 ho Fluorescent Bulb - Pure Actinic should be ok for soft beginner corals[/h]
 
Gonna be a blue tank, but yea, it would work.

Sorry, hate to be a nuisance

Hmmm, don't really want a blue tank, I can't seem to find just a 12-14K White, How about the 54W - 48” T5 ATI Aquablue Special
it has a light blue tint is that still gonna provide a blue tank when added to the Blue+

Could you mybe provide a link to the 12-14K's your speaking of.
thanks
