Building new tank need help

jace78 · 06/25/2014, 03:02 PM

Trying to figure out adequate lighting for my new build. Dimensions are 72Lx25Hx18W. Was looking at 2 Hydra 52 or maybe 1 Hydra 52 and 2 hydra...not sure what is enough and what is overkill. Tank will be mostly fish and LPS some SPS. Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

I have 2 hydras on my 90, and 3 generic chinese ones on my 180, and the knock offs are actually covering better... but I do like the color of the hydra more.

Thanks xnet I guess I can just shop around/watch forums as well, not a rush build so I can be patient...how long is your 90?
