[[V]tEc]

M planning to start a 3*2*2.5ft tank. however i still confused on wat lighting to use. i m keeping LPS like hammer, frogspawn, prata, open brain. right now i thinking of 3 options.

1. 1*250w mh & 2 T5 blue

2. 1*150w mh & 2 T5 blue

3. 4* T5 white & 2 T5 blue

For LPS, you can just go for the 3rd option.

Your chiller will need not to work so hard as well.

ps: Nice meeting you last sat ans welcom to the land of super blackhole

i believe best for you to go for option 1, like that anytime in the future you wanna move to SPS can do so, no need to sell off and buy lights, invest early and get the best of all equipment, so no need to spend to keep changing next time
