WTB 3 Foot Metal Halide (2 x 250W)

[CanadaGirl]

Looking for a three foot long MH which can hold two 250W bulbs. I have just finished cycling and have decided my current 150W MH just ain't gonna be enough!

Ah, that is great info! How much light do I need for a 3x2x2.5 tank? From what I read on the internet my 150W will not be enough for corals. I want clams and an anemone which are light loving. The rest can be softies, leathers, a prata, bubble, etc.

How much light do you guys think I need? Would welcome opinions? Would one 250W MH do the trick?

Want to start adding corals over the next week.

i would think 1 x 250w with a luminarc 3 reflector should be sufficient and play with corals placement, try to go for single ended mh bulbs , they seem to be brighter, or else can go for 2x150w
