What t5 fixture for 58g sps tank?

[mjaustin22]

Hey,
I have a 58g all sps tank that has 2 250w radium and 2 95w vho and am interested in moving to t5s for heat and energy savings. Im looking at the ati sunpower, tek elite, aquaactinics, or even the aquatic life fixtures. The tank is 21" deep and I am looking to be able to keep sps and clams all the way to the bottom. The lights will also need to be housed inside of my canopy which at its highest is about 12" off the water surface so the light will probably hang relatively close to the waters surface. Just looking for ideas on what fixture would work and not bleach all my coral.

Thanks,
Mike

IF you have a canopy, go for a LET retro from reef geek. If you went wtih a fixture, you would probably have to get a 24 inch light, since you need in to fit in a canopy.

Ither retro fit or an ati fixture would do just fine I'm gonna be runnin an 8bulb powermodual on a 120 and I have a canopy fits perfect actually

Thanks, I was hoping to stay away from a diy because Im not super handy lol and worry about salt creep/splash ruining the bulbs and reflectors. I just measured my canopy which is 36 and 3/4" wide and it looks like the ati or teks are 35 so it should fit.

i would go with the ATI sunpower 6 or 8 bulb fixture.i used a 6x39w sunpower over my old 57g rimless oceanic which measured 36x18x21 and i had great growth and color.on an 18" wide tank i would just go with the 6 bulb fixture.if the tank is wider than 18" id get the 8 bulb fixture.

The tank is 18" wide so I was definitely going to go with a 6 bulb fixture.
