I need some help from the lighting gurus on this forum.
Im upgrading to a 90g soon, and I need to order my lights this week. But I seem to have a bit of a set back, I am unsure of what bulbs to get. The new tank will be 20in high, and the bulbs will be 6in above the water. They will be run by 2x 175w icecap ballasts on a mogul base and have 2 t5's for actinic supplementation.
I currently have a 55g with 4xt5's and this is my first time with metal halides. I love the colors of the t5's but would like to keep more sps in the new tank.
I love the look of the 250w 12k reeflux my friend has but I already have the 175w ballasts.
What 175w bulbs can I get that will get me growth, yet nice colors out of my corals?
