8ft lighting

hi all, i have a fairly large tank and im wanting to have areas which contain low lighting areas and high lighting areas, i was thinking of having 2x 150w over a length of 4ft and the rest would be lite by fluros? would this be alrite and im wanting to keep soft corals only...

thanks in advance

 

How deep is the tank?

oopps.. forgot to add its a 8x2x2

 

At 2 feet deep you might want to consider 250W of MH. It will penetrate the water allot more than just a 150W.

would the 150w be alrite for coral that are pretty high up the tank?

 

I dont think it would be a problem... specially if you intend to keep only softies. They are allot less light demanding than SPS, LPS or anemones.

thanks for all your help marc

 

No problem. Thats what where here for.
