250 HQI Lighting
Would 250watts of MH be ok for a tank dimension of 30x24x18?
It equals 56 gallons so will i have to shorten the tank up to 28, 26 or even 24 inches to get sufficient lighting? Another solution is to add 2x24 watts of T5's or 4x24.... Thanks Steve

250 will be fine, but the ends will be a little shaded.
