Aquarium Advice Regular
I bought a 36" hood with 2 x150w metal halides and 2x36 W T5 actinic (http://www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=80006&cat=629&page=1)
I have a 6' 125 gal tank and have it on one side next to my 36" 2x96 power compacts from my 46 gal tank that we took down.
I'm trying to decide what lights to do for the rest of the tank even considering a 24" hood
If I do another 36" 2x 150 w with the T5 actinic lights it would be 7.5 watts per gallon. I don't want to bleach the live rock!!!!!!!!
Any ideas on keeping the lighting under control?
The metal halides are beautiful but I'm afraid with one for a 3' section of tank there will be too many shadows.
