size: 60 gal standard
my power compacts, the ballast is malfunctioning burning out bulbs so it is out of commission.
I do however have a 150watt hqi halide in the center, pfo reflector which lights evenly and I have used it before alone and it looked nice and didn't look like half had light and other half no light, the light spreads evenly. So I would like to use this method to light the system at least for now.
the system used to be a reef so currently it will just be used for live rock and a couple fish, fish only setup so the light is over kill but what I have.
since i will not have any corals, i want a nice deep vibrant blue with some white so what should I go with..
