Need recommendations
Hey everyone I decided that I'm going to go with a MH system for my 37g tank thats going be housing all sorts of corals/clams.
Now I'm going be building a canopy for this tank cause I can get any light system that will sit on top of the tank since its a weird demension and I do not want one that hangs from my ceiling or clips on the back. SO I need everyones help one what kind of bulb I should get, ballast, reflector, wiring, etc. Basically everything I need, oh yea and also I want to get some type of LED lighting to have that at night any ideas? Also for the bulb I don't know if this determines which one to get but I want to have a clean crisp lighting to show off all the colors of the corals, as well as a slight tint of blue in the bulb. Thanks everyyone! |

Tank Dimensions
What are the dimensions of your tank? If you want to keep a lot of varia=ety you will need a 250 MH system. The 150 MH will work but you will not be happy long term. Also you will likely run into heat issues with 250MH on 37G unless you want a chiller. I would return the 37G and go with a 60 G cube or larger.
