    Default Need Help with lights?

    I just bought a 75g from Sharkboy and need some opinions on the lighting.
    I was thinking of two different routes one is

    400 watt 20k MH and the other is a 250w 14k with some t5 atinics

    any advise on what others have done or what might be best is greatly
    appreciated

    Thanks

    My .02 cents I really like the idea of having a nice 250 watt with a good 14k with t5 ati blue plus actinics.

    And what do you plan to have in your tank? corals wise.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Do a mini tank tour around here and see all the lights in action. That's should help with your decision of which lights to chose.I have 400w and you're welcome to look at them anytime.I like the 400s b/c i want to see what going under the sand...haha
