T5 advice

[Scuba20v]

i have a 75g reef setup and i have a 4 bulb light fixture. (crapy cell pics)

i curently have 2- 12000k and 2-actinic bulbs and 8 blue Led's

Is this enough light for how deep a 75 is?
If the LED's are on all night is that going to tick anything off?
What bulb combination would you run and why

thanks for all your time

leds can stay on all the time, and the light depends on if it is ho, the overall wattage, and what you are trying to keep. looking at the pic you arent trying to keep anything that needs high lighting so it should be fine as is if that is all you are going to be keeping.

all the bulbs are Odyssea T5 54w each. i would like to keep a clam but i don't want too much light that i hurt my leathers.

the lighting in those photos are from my old settup.

Rule of thumb for T5 is 1bulb every 3inch of the width of your tank .I think a 75 gallon is 18inch thats 6 t5 bulbs

I have 6 T5 on my 75 and have a BTA some Monti caps a frag of SPS and LPS growing on the sand. I used to have a 4 bulb but I'm glad I upgraded.

bump for any more advice?

That depends on what kind of color saturation you are looking for.
I have 3 460 2 10K and 1 Fiji purple. But I'm looking to get into something else.
