Hi, i'm a newbie here. Need some advice on T5HO lighting system. My tank size is 24L X 16H X 15W. Can T5HO lighting with 2 tubes (1 white + 1 blue) sufficient to light up my tank? I plan to keep some LPS coral and some inverts. Thanks in advance. :maitre

IMO the 24 watters are kinda weak and you would probably want to run 4x24. This will allow you to have a better mix of lamps and also allow you to have your "daylights" and your actinics to be on at separate times.

The most important thing is to have high quality individual reflectors. That is a must.

I have 6 x 54 watt bulbs and I can keep most everything in my 90 galon. The 4 x 24 should do you quite well.
