new tank light problem

jackp1 · 10/19/2009, 10:14 AM

iv bought a new tank its 31" L, 25" H, 24" W, the light i have over my old tank is 150w MH with two T5 24w HO at either side, im not sure if this light will be good enough on a tank 2 foot deep. what do you think will a 250w MH with a couple of T5 be better than current lighting cheers..

that all depend on what you want to keep in your tank. if your just planing on keeping softies you are fine with what you have. if you plan to keep SPS you defilently need abit more.
