hi all, glad to see were back in business, thank you marc and team. i have couple of questions regarding mh light. i'm slowly in the process of setting up a new tank, it's an all glass 180 gallon with built in overflows. while at my lfs we were talking about some of the things i have yet to buy. my lighting was brought up that i should go to 250 watt mh lights, as i had planned to use my coralife hood with 3-150 watt mh lights. i want to start collecting corals in the future, right now all i have is an assortment of fish and 12 bta's who think that they own the tank due to when thay all open up they take up a lot of room, but look awsome. all of them have split off from the original one i bought years ago. anyway does this seem reasonable since the new tank will be 6" wider, and 25 1/2" tall. i was looking at the icecap pendants with either the lumatek or icecap ballasts. also if i need to make a change are there any other suggestions for lighting. i have 3 mh lights now would i also need 3-250 watt, would 4 be overkill for a 6' tank. thanks.![]()
