I am hoping to have a 250 gal Marineland Deep Dimension tank this fall. It's big, 60"L x 36"D x 27"H. A "normal" light fixture across the top just won't cut it imo, I think I should be looking at 3 if not 4, 150 MH pendents (14K range?) to cover that 36" depth. I think they should be staggered across the length to make sure all 36" get the light it needs. I have no experience with MH so I am hoping those of you here with various MH lighted tanks might help me choose the correct lighting? This tank will replace my 90 gal mixed reef setup and at the same time I am moving the fuge / equipment to the basement. I will be using two rubbermaid 150 gal stock tanks, 1 for the fuge and the other for a sump. Having 300 gal in the cool basement should prevent my needing a chiller. This will be a mixed reef with sps lps corals and carpet anemone.
Thanks!
Thanks!
