Hello fellow Aquarists!
About a week ago I decided to build a new lighting for my tank to replace my old 36" long build. I decided to use an OMNI LED T8 lamp rated at 18 watts, 1500 lumens with 6500k color temp coupled with a T5 28 watts QUSUN watts Blue fluorescent (no mention of any specs). Will this suffice? Thanks to those who will take the time to reply!

forgot to mention...my new light fixture is 48" long and I have yet to add fish in my month-old tank. It's just water, live rock and a few oysters and green mollusks.

your light is for fish only tank.
you'll need 48 Inch 54W T5HO Bulbs if you will be adding corals
180g mixed reef tank, 70g sump

Thanks for the reply Marvin. I do have a 48" but sadly not a 54WHO. Can you please tell me where can I buy one? Your reply will be highly appreciated!
