I'm almost done getting all the equipment for my new 125 gallon tank, and still have to decide on the lighting, but I dont' want to spend too much. (Doh, why am I considering a reef tank then!).
So. I've read a bunch of threads/forums, and am still confused. Can someone point me in the right direction on what type of hood/lighting I should get, in the 'less expensive' range. No canopy, too much money. For fresh water, it's simple. The standard glass canopy/top with strip lights. But for a reef? Can I use the standard glass canopy with high powered strip lights? If so, what type? I'm so confused! HELP!!!
