so you think the 1000 would be to much...my tank is 26in......i was gonna get 2 of them

SueT · 01-31-2007, 05:52 PM

what kind of corals are you keeping?? I kind of think of 1000w halides as overkill. Unless it's a deep 36" tank or so. 400w would be more inline I would think. I have a friend that has a 210g sps tank and he only uses 1 1000w halide over it. 2 over a 110g??

I also know an LFS owner who uses a 1000w bulb over a very large tank but it's suspended several feet above the tank. IMHO you'll have serious photoinibition problems with your corals using that amount of light over your tank even the most light demanding !
