I am building a retro system for my new reef aquarium and I am going to be trying to keep things with both high and medium lighting requirements. I am looking at either a dual 175w MH or a dual 250w MH, heat is my big concern with the 250s. I also considered a single 400w MH, but figured the dual system would let me split the distribution up and spread it out across the tank more. I have two 13w lights, one red and the other Actinic, but I figured 13w was not nearly enough for such a big tank. I am thinking about either 36w, 55w, 72w or 110w depending on what I read here.
My rock shows up Tuesday, so I will order my lights and have them ready (hopefully) in three weeks when I need them. TIA for your thoughts and great input. I am learning so much so fast, I cannot wait to actually get my hands wet!
