    Hello there everyone,
    i have been using 3reef for help and research while plotting every upgrade change or new piece to my tank and it has been rather helpful. Im just now 24 and work for a fairly well known mortgage company.

    I just recently (yesterday) did a system swap... Moving from my 55g FOWLR with a 30g sump. To... the new version of the 29g biocube. Letting everything settle in until a friend showed up with some frags and rushed me along a little too quickly but here i am.

    Alright! pics are soon to come.... well as soon as i figure this lighting situation out....

    i liked the stock lights at first... but now they are so lacking... and have found some not to deathly expensive MH set ups but... how much is to much 70watts is to little. and 346ish seems to much. i know to much light can be a bad thing. but what do i know. Input? :confused:


    Oh yeah forgot to mention.... i have a Current sunpod 20" 70 watt sitting around. thats why i brought it up. but doubt there is an easy way to convert it to 150? Bah.
