I am planning a small marine aquarium measuring 600x250x250 (LxWxH), approximately 35 liters, with a mixed population. I have 2 T5 lamps: 24 GIESEMANN aquablue azure - 1 piece and GIESEMANN aquablue coral - 1 piece. Will this be enough, or should I add 2 more T5 lamps, and which ones would be better in terms of spectrum? As an alternative, I am considering making a hybrid of T5 and LED by adding actinic diodes to the existing lamps. Please share your experience.

Two lamps will be quite enough, except for adding a couple of blue diodes for the moon.
