Retro Fit MH and VHO question
I have a retro fit 3 250 watt MH and 4 VHOs fixtures. I am going to build my canopy for my tank and was wondering the best way to place the fixtures.
My tank dimensions are 72L by 18W it is a 125 gallon setup. I want it all to fit. Is it bad to put the MH's parallel to the length of the tank to fit the VHO's? Is it better to have the VHOs in front or back of the MH's? Any pics can help or suggestions. Thanks |

you will get more light from your mh's if the bulbs are facing forward mine face parallel for clearance reasons and im getting plenty of light put 1 vho in front and behind your mh's
