Lighting!

Hi all,

Would like your opinions regarding lighting for my tank.

Is 2xMH 150w supplement with t5 light sufficient to keep sps?

I've asked some bros and they said if the sps are on the higher part of the tank it is adequate.

Thanks for the help!

What's your tank size and depth? how far are the lights from the top of the waterline?

2 x 150w mh is sufficient for keeping SPS, just place then on the top potion of your tank. =)

MH is power hungry. Have you considered LED instead?

Hi my tank size is abt 100cm by 75cm by 60cm. So yup it's a normal two feet depth.

The lights are abt 13cm away from the surface of the water.

Thanks!

Hi bro.

Yes I'm intending to put them at the top portion. And maybe slightly to the middle.

Hope it'll work.

Thanks!

Hi,

I hear that led coverage are not as good as mh right?

If let's say I go into led, what is the recommended wattage and how much would it be for my tank?

It's about 3 by 2.5 by 2 feet tank. In fact tehe length is slightly more than 3feet.

Thanks!

Should be okay. I've seen people raising SPS using T5 with the corals about 8 inches from the light.
