lighting for 18 tall.

I was thinking about the 96w pc, but interested in anything, so if you have any old ballasts and or bulbs, let me know.:)

I would say a single Pendant 250w MH would light that tank up! And you could grow a TON of corals that way with it... at least what you can fit in there lol.

I single 150watt MH would be plenty. 250 is more than you would need. 150watt MH pendant would give you 8watts per gallon.

i agree with ray, a 150 would likely be perfect for that tank

I really like the sunpod 150w HQI on my 24, and if I could find one under a $100 I would jump on it..I have one 96w pc that I was thinking about doubling up in a homemade hood...but I am not sure if its worth it. Used bulb, 6mo or so, and they are $50 at Aquatech.
