I've always seen the 3-5w/Gal rule when referring to lighting, but have also heard that this doesnt apply when using MH... What do you guys say?
For a 100gal. tank--5x96w PC's would fit well within that range, 2xTrue Actinics, and 3x10k Whites for a total of 480w.(or maybe 3xActinics, and 2x10k's, depending on preference)
100gal. tank, 4x96w PC's-- 2xTrue Actinic and 2x10k's for a total of 384w
Same 100gal. tank--2x175w 10k MH's, and 2x96w True Actinics to total 492w
What would work better, in your opinion.(and for those that are going to ask, it will eventually work up to being a reef tank, one step at a time, so might as well get the lighting correct, right from the beginning, or so I think)
