Coralife T5 Aqualight with Kessil

[reeferkid]

I have currently have 2 Kessil A150w will be going on a 90 gallon. I'm thinking if it's a good idea to add 2 48" coralife Aqualight 2 bulbs T5 fixtures with a total of 4 T5s bulbs from ATI and have the 2 kessil in between them.

Before I moved, I was running a ATI 24" sunpower fixture in the middle of the tank that I previously ran with the kessil on each side of the ATI fixture, but I figure having a 48" fixture T5 with the kessil would get me a better coverage.

What do you guys and girls think?

two a150's will definitely need supplemental lighting if you are going to go for corals. 4 bulbs would work, i would go for two blue plus, one purple plus, last one would either be another blue plus or true actinic, personally i'd go with actinic. If you aren't worried about corals, no supplemental lighting is needed. Honestly i don't think the 150's will help with much more than color for the tank, i would get the 4 foot fixture, 6 bulb, put it about 16-18 inches above the tank, and put the kessils at a 45 degree angle on either side, it will help with shading and also light color. if you are going with lps mostly with some sps this would be plenty of light, if you want all sps go for an 8 bulb. Just my opinion, in the end it's your tank though, do it how you want to.
