I am working on a 180 reef (72x24x24) - I have 3 250w 14k pendants hanging. I plan on putting in some led moonlights but I was wondering if I should suppliment the MH in any way?
The tank will hold a mix of corals and I would like to attempt some clams.
My hood space is limited so a 72" fixture is not possible. I have read many threads and looked at some lighting cycles of larger tanks. It seems like its popular to add in PC or VHO during the morning or evening times.
I am new to using MH fixtures and would like some input on if the trend is moving towards multiple fixtures (a mix of pc/vho/mh) or if my current 250w mh pendants would be enough.
I am just starting this setup and would like to do it right the first time.
Thanks for you time
