Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / June 2005Light approval
I am upgrading to a 150G (60x24x24) tank next week and want to order the lights now. I currently have a 36" PC with one Actinic and one 10K. I am planning to add 2x 250W MH's. 1) Will this be enough for soft corals and some SPS? 2) Should I change the PC to 2x Actinic? or is it ok as 1xAcintic and 1x10k? 3) If #2 is ok, I will have light scheduled as such...Actinic on 11am, 10K PC on at 12pm MH on 1pm.............MH off at 9pm, 10K PC off at 10pm and actinic off at 11pm. Is this ok? 4) What spectrum MH? 10K, 15K, 20K? I want the tank to be most color pleasing to the viewers. Am I missing anything? Canopy is 20" high. Thanks!!! I would set it up with 2 x 250w 10,000K MH, and use two actinic PC bulbs since you own that setup. The canopy is very tall. The PCs should be about 4" off the water, and the MH 9" - 12" off the water. Marc > I am upgrading to a 150G (60x24x24) tank next week and want to order the > lights now.
