| finally a great discussion to be had here i'm sure I cant wait myself I have 2 96watt powerquads on a 30 cube for a diverse group of animals including a couple of sps (high in the tank) 3 clams (all maximas) and some lps and 2 leathers this tank has been running since nov. and everything is fine. On my other tank a 30 breeder i have 180 watts of NO flourescents with an asst. of softies which are all doing fine these are the setups which work for me because I cant justify the need for MH even if i could justify the cost of the setups electricity here in NY is ridiculous and I would probably end up killed (by the wife) for using them. I cant wait to see what others have to say on this topic.
