Is 75W 10000K MH bulb sufficient?

[Marinedisc]

I'm contemplating to use the above for a 24in x 12in x 14in tank setup to keep a couple of clams and some softies.

Is it sufficient as I thought a 150W may be better for a deeper tank. Any advise or opinion from experts here appreciated.

if you are getting 75W MH.... you migt as well get a PL tube instead..... the intensity of a 75W MH is not too much diferrent from 55W PL......

if i were u, i would go for the 150watt cause it's easier available to me that is... and u would not need to upgrade if u intend to keep clams or hard corals in the future...

get 400W....you won't have to upgrade anymore in future.

But I'm worried that PL light would not be able to sustain the clams I'll like to keep and also the 150W MH may harm some mushies too in this tank size.

150W MH won't harm the mushies if acclimatised properly. They should grow quite fast.

Hi, can advise me how to acclimatised the mushie?

Is it by using dimmable MH light or if there is any?

Thanks.
