would putting a 400 watt Halide over an 85 gallon be a good Idea?
I have found a good deal; ballast, reflector & lamp for only £100, as the light is meant for growing things, I would obviously have to replace the lamp (around £70), but £170 seems good for a 400 watt aquarium Halide, and would be cheaper than buying 2x 250's.
The problem would be that the actual lamp would have to be 4-5" from the water surface, so heat would be a problem, but I could thow in a few fans which would help,
would I be able to keep anything I want under 400w, 18" high tank?
