    Any thoughts?? Looking for a light upgrade on my 20 long. I'm thinking this would be plenty. How would i run lighting schedule? it has LED's too so I'm thinking maybe 12 on 12 off?? I'm looking to keep basic corals just trying to add more life to my tank with a few zoas and some torch coral for now maybe. I know this will be enough for them to thrive, just asking y'all on your thoughts on it. thanks!

    I once had the Viper MH 70 watt and i can tell you that it will create a ton of evaporation! That is a really good price for it too!

    I know that's why I'm considering it. I'm thinking the fan might help reduce that somewhat, well im hoping so at least.

    I like my jbj 150. The stock bulb is junk, but replace it with a phoenix or a ushio and you'll be happy with it

    Oh, and 12 on 12 off should be fine, though it's best if you can simulate the dusk dawn affect with some t5's that come on an hour before the MH and turn off an hour after the MH
