Help With A New 75g Reef Tank

AMJD78 · 03/28/2006, 04:57 PM

I AM GETTING A CUSTOM TANK BUILT, 30" X 24" X 24", I WANT TO KNOW SHOULD I USE METALHALIDE (IF SO HOW MANY, HOW MANY WATTS), OR WOULD T5 LIGHTS WORK. I HAVE 3 ANEMONE'S (2 RBTA, AND ONE LONG TENCICAL) IN TWO SMALLER TANKS AS WELL AS FROGSPAWNS, HAMER CORALS, PULSING XENIA, MUSHROOMS, ZOO'S AND STAR POLYLOPS CHRISTMAS TREE CORALS, CLAMS, AND OF COURSE FISH. I AM MOVING EVERYONE INTO THE NEW TANK AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF LIGHTING TO USE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKYOU.

Will you have a brace in the tank? If so, get it glass or aryclic. two 175 watt or two 250 watt mh lights would work. YOu may even be able to only use one 250 or 400 watt mh for the tank.
