Have had a saltwater tank for 1 year or so now. Well finally upgrading to a good size. Its a 48x24x25. Round about 120 gal. We're doing all the planning now... choosing equipment, exc.
Would really appreciate some help with a few lighting ?s we have. We have a canopy & the top is approx 10 inches from the top of the water. We would LOVE to do metal halide combo w/ either PC, T5, or VHO.
From what I've read, our best bet looks like it would be a retro fit. Looking @ something similar to that below. I'm not sure what our best bet will be. I guess my question is : with the metal halide bulb & the comact flourescent what is a good color / temp bulb combo??

Not sure if we want/need 4 bulbs or 2 bulbs along w/ the MH & what wattage they should be... I want to be able to house clams, anemones, exc.
Any suggestions? or pics of what you have running & what temp / watt / exc bulb type that it is... :]
Thank you!!!! :sfish:
