I have a 90 gallon marine aquarium.  It is 24 inches tall.  I moved everything from a 75 gallon to this new tank.  I had four 54 watt T-5 bulbs on the 75.  Do I need to add two more bulbs to the 90 gallon tank?  I currently have a very large anemone, mushroom, yellow polyps, green star polyps, button polyps, xenia, christmas tree rock, finger leathers.  Would 6 HO T-5 bulbs be sufficient for this tall tank? Tanks a lot!

Hi Barbara,

Welcome to the Marine Depot Forums.

With the extra 6" in height (I think that is what it is, or maybe it is 4" higher), if you can put a couple more bulbs over the tank I think it will help out quite a bit.

HTH,
