Just throwing it out there to see if there is any interest. It seems like too much for my 29 gal, I'd like to try something else.
I suppose... $200?
Pm me if interested.

Hmmm, I was just debating on moving up to a 250w on my 29g.... Maybe it's a good thing I haven't...

As a general rule of thumb it should be about 5 watts of light per every one gallon of aquarium. So in a 29 gallon aquarim a 150 watt setup would be ideal. If i'm wrong please someone correct me, but this is what I have always read.

Watts per gallon do not really matter. It's the level of light intensity that matters and the depth of the tank. Your assessment of a 150watt is probably on target but just wanted you to know that the watts per gallon should not be a deciding factor. This would also be better addressed in another thread versus someone's "For Sale/Trade" thread.

Chris,
What type of light is it and are you considering trades? Any pics?

I have a current sunpod 150w de I might be interested on trading, depending on what you have.
