Lighting for 60 gallon tank.

[Yano]

Any suggestions? I would like to have a few corals, like some xiena and zoos from my 10 gallon, I would like to move my flower anemone to the 60 gallon as well.

dude, go as big as you can!!! get yourself a couple 400 watters and have a mini-jim. (micro version of jim norris' tank) :-D

lol, I would love to but I'm on a bit of buget here. I'm still looking around at hellolights, there is just so much I'm overloaded, I don't know where to start :D

What about this along with some NO Fluorescent?

sure! that looks like a good setup if you have a canopy and fans enough to cool it :)

think of it this way also though, with the discount you might be able to get the 250 watt for the same price listed there ;)

I was looking at the tank and just kept thinking, "Thats looks bigger than the 55gallons I see at the store" So I measured it and it turns out its a 63.48 gallon tank. And if it makes much a difference, its 23.5 inches tall.

If I got one of those kits how would I attach those to a canopy?( I plan on making my own canopy.)

[Nano_Steve]

screw it into the top i suppose :) they really arent that hard to install once you have it in your hands and see how its all set up.

and what are these "High_Temp_Wire_Nuts" ??

[Nano_Steve]

theyre what you use to connect the wires from the ballast to the wires from the socket.

I have 2 DE 250w and two VHO actinics on the frag tank and it works great. I beleive Jim said the tank was around 80 gallons. It is 6 ft. long
