anyone know 8x24w T5 light would work for 93g cube?

[ifarmer]

hi everyone, I am looking for some inputs as i need to buy a light for my new 93g setup. tank dimension is 30x30x24 barebottom and some rocks

i had a lot of success with sps with T5 in my previous tanks (75g and 120g). I am going to setup a 93g pretty soon and it will 99.9% sps
I am looking to buy a light for the 93g cube and wasn't sure the 8x24w is going to be enough. no LED suggestion please
thank you so much

i read recently that the 8 x 24 is the perfect t5 setup for a 93 cube..

I think that would be perfect. Personally, I don't normally go with a full length fixture (ex: a 4 ft fixture on a 4 ft tank).. IMO it's good to have some overlap, unless you're doing 100% SPS. Even then, the 8 bulb, 2ft fixture would be fine.

plenty of light for even high demanding corals and clams
