I have a 72 gal bow front
dimension 48" x 18w x 22h
I was thinking about getting a Current USA 48 inch Outer Orbit 2x150w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x54W T5 HO & 18 Lunar Lights http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~SearchStr~~action~view~idProduct~CU01072~idCategory~FILTFIMHMTMDMLM6~category~Current_US A_48_inch_Outer_Orbit_2x150w_10K_HQI_MH_w__4x54W_T5_HO___18_Lunar_Lights_48in~vendor~.html

Since it's 22" high, do you think I should go to a 2x250w HQI?

I'm trying to have a clam, some zooanthids and maybe a few soft corals.

any suggestions would be helpful.

I dont think you will be happy with 150s. If you want clams, get the 250s.

So i just purchased the Current USA 48 inch Outer Orbit 2x250w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x54W T5 HO & 18 Lunar Lights today.

I hope these are good enough.

Anything I should now about HQI? I haven't used them before.
