ok so I got this 30 gallon half hex flat back aquarium its dimmensions are, 36 x 13 x 16. What type of lighting would you all recommend. Right now I only have to 10 gallon nanos both with 96w pc, but I'm thinking of get MH for the new one.

thanks

Hmmm.... if you go with MH, stick with a 175 10k and 2x55 watt actinic PC bulbs..... or, If it were me, I would think that 4X55 PC might be enough, depending on what species you plan on keeping. Just remember, with the Halide, you might have heat issues.
