Thread: Lights....????

  1. #1

    Default Lights....????

    I was thinking about running 2 250watt DE MH pendants on my 90. I was thinking one 10K and one 20K.

    Anyone see any problems with this?

    Would 2 150w's in the same config work?

    Should I stick with 2 10k or 2 20ks?

    Have plenty of antinic so trying to get the fullest/best spectrum.

    I want plenty of SPS and LPS and some softies, a RBTA, and a CLAM

    Thoughts??????

    On my last tank I had a lot of PCs and it did ok....but I want the perfect setup this time using MH. I am planning on really taking my time on this one and get exactly what I want before I set it up.

    I posted in the General Reef.....forum because in my mind I was focusing more on the corals needs verses equipment.....but oh well, guess it was a equipment question! LOL Doesn't matter I guess as long as it gets answered! hehehe

    I agree, 10Ks all the way!

    If DEs, remember you need a glass plate (pendant) to block the UV.

    Check out this spectrum. Personally I would include VHO actinic lighting in a "perfect" set-up.

    I have a 90 with 2 250's and it works quite nice. Go with the 10K's.
