i have a 90 gallon soon-to-be-reef tank that is about a week away from being flush mounted into my wall.
i was at the lfs and he was selling everything at cost. he told me that two emperor 280's would do a good job for a 90 gal tank with the addition of a powerhead for more circulation. i asked him about wet/dry sump system and he said they are more trouble than they are worth, and that the hob filters have gotten much better in the last few years. does anyone with a 90 use hob? please let me know.
would 330 total watts (2 x 110w 03 + 2 x 55w cf) be enough to keep the hardier type corals? i can buy a total setup with ballast and bulbs for 300.00cnd out the door. i've read mixed reviews on mh and don't want the hassle if possible.
please tell me your successes/failures, i really want to do it right the first time.
thanks in advance
