I was wondering what lights are suitable for my 70g.
Water is 20 inches high from the sand bed.
I would like to keep LPS at first until I get enough experience to maybe try leathers, clams and anemones.
I already have a ballast that can power up-to four 54Watt T5s. I have another one but I don't think I can fit more than 4-6 lamps over the tank.
I was thinking of adding one MH to supplement on the light needed for what I plan to keep in the tank, and run only two of the T5s.
Should the MH be 150, 175 or 250 watts?
Also if I decide to try LEDs, how many LEDs will be needed?(I will also use maybe 2 of the T5s).
