ok, so i have a 125 gallon tank that i am in the process of buiding. i have one 36" MH hamiltion fixture, that has a 150 watt MH and 2 96 PC blues.. the tank is 72" long.
i want to add another 36" fixture but would like more light on one side, i was thinking, and wanted to do the 36" 250 watt mh and the 2 96watt pcs hamiltion fixture on the other side, for a clam or something. this is primarally a FO and want a couple of clams and an annemome.
will this look bad if i did this? or is this ok. is the 1oo watt side going to look that much brighter, or will they spread enough. thanks any help would be great.
