Alright guys/girls, as many of you know i've recently got a 75G RR and came with a DIY 250W Metal Halide with a homemade ballast. It's a big and ugly box, and the connections don't seem that good, as well as the ballast is not even covered or anything. I'm trying to run this as little as possible, but i need to do something...quick.
I'm planning on keeping all kinds of corals, so i deff need some good halides. I was thinking on doing 2 175W with either 2 or 4 actinic bulbs to add some color. Would 2 175W MH be enough light for my tank? Or should i go for 2 250W?
Also, i'm going to be doing a retrofit, buy all the pieces separate and put it together myself, what do you recommend as far as halides, ballasts, and reflectors?
