Hi All,
I read in one of the articles lighting should be between 4-6 watts per gallon. The LFS said between 6-8 watts per gal. I'm researching for a 120gal reef tank, which by these calculations is alot of watts. I'm looking at a T5/MH combination light with blue led night lights, it is 730 watts which seems like alot to me. My tank is pretty deep which affects the amount required, to my understanding anyway. You guys are the experts what do you think?
