Lighting

I'm considering putting 2 175 watt MH's on my 55. The question for the experts out there is this: With the new lighting should I keep the pc's and the vho's on there as well or just go with the Metal halides and a actinic bulb. Any info greatly appreciated.

 

I would just use the metal halides and actinics...
I would go with 10 k on the MH

works for me anyway

 

Thanks for the info nfarocks.

 

I like the 14000k range myself, The added blue makes the coral look better

 

Well, I have a question too.

I have a tank which is 5 ( length) * 2 ( height) * 1.5 (breadth).
I light the same with three 150 watt metal halides of 6500K each. Plus a 40 watt blue moon.
Is this ok for corals & anemone.

Please suggest

 

yeaqh i would also go with just the mh lighting

i have a 55 gal and i am thinking about changing to another mh...

 

Should be fine for most things. What types of corals and anemones are you planning on using? You may want to consider going to 10 to 14k.
