Ok im at a point where i am goin to begin start purchasing lighting for my tank. I plan on having some corals probably not any stoney corals. I originally planned on metal halides and vho actinics, but i decided not to because of the heat issues. So i am torn between VHO and PC both are within my price range but i cant decide. I have a plan for each if i were to go with PC i was going to get 2 hellolights ballasts that can push 2x96w (384w total) bulbs each and all the gear to install them for around $250. The VHO set up would be a 4x110 (440w total) icecap ballast 2x10k and 2xactinic bulbs for around $170.
-Which puts out more lights?
-What would be the limits as far a corals?
-I heard that with PCs algae can be bad, but wouldnt the cleaners take care of this? so it might actually be a good thing.... for the cleaners
What are some other pros and cons of each.
Thanx a ton
