Best Size tank for 48" Aqualight Pro 250W

T000349 · 11/15/2006, 06:43 PM

From the sounds of all the advise, my 55 gallon tank is a little small for the 48 Aqualight Pro from Coralife. It has 2 250W Metal Halides, 4 Lunar lights, 2 96 Watt Compact Flourescents.

What is the best size tank for this light, I am thinking of doing an upgrade and do to the fact that I have a really intense light, I want to get the biggest aquarium that it can handle

Can anyone tell what would be the ideal measureents for a new tank for this light, and who should I buy if from? I would also want it to be pre-drilled for overflow and returns

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I second that notion, I run a 48" Maristar fixture with 2x250MH and 2x54T5's on my 120gal 48x24x24.
