Hi everyone. Just a couple quick questions about lighting for a 55 gallon mini-reef:
1. At 8 watts/gallon, would 440 watts of VHO (i.e., 4 X 110 watts) be considered overkill?
2. How crucial or important is the dawn/dusk effect (i.e., via dual ballasts and/or dual on/off controls)?
Thanks for all your help and attention to my inquiry.
Best wishes,
Michael
