t5 lighting

[gotfish]

Hi, I'm wondering what types of sps could I successfully grow under a 6x39(3 10k/3 actinic) t5 setup on either a 50g(18" tall) or a 65g(24" tall)? How low in each tank would I be able to have them?

Thanks, any info is much appreciated.

Most types of SPS will be fine in both tanks if kept 16" or so from the top and the lights mounted low.

Kevin

Would it make a difference if I swapped out 1 of the actinics for another 10k or would that make it worse for the coral?

It would be better as the 10,000K bulbs have more PAR.
