Hi all

As some know, i'm currently keeping an NC6, and for christmas i have an option to buy a big tank that i'm planning to install as a Planted Discus tank, and for the next tank, once i'm done installing the discus probably in 6 months to a year (discus are expensive!), was wondering about a 35g AGA with 4x21w T5 lamp, it's about 50cm in height and 90cm long. What corals could i keep in there? Clams? What about fish?

Thanks

21W T5s? I haven't heard of those; how long are the bulbs? It sounds like your T5s may not be the same as T5HO (high output) fluorescents. T5HO fixtures generally come in sizes of 18W for 20 inch bulbs, 24W for 24 inch bulbs, 39W for 36 inch bulbs, etc. Do you have a link to the light fixture?

This is the link

it's the Dymax Rex-4 light, it's 36 inches

(EDIT) I found out the problem with the different wattage, the lamp i'm talking about the T5 36'' 21w is a T5NO, the T5HO 36'' is a 39w
