Need MH Light Recommendation

[Falcon53]

Hello,

I have a 24"x24"x24" cube that I plan to do only LPS and maybe a few soft corals in. I have the Lumenbright Mini reflector already, so I am going to stick with MH lighting for now. I know people use a lot of T5 and LED for LPS, but I am going to stick with MH. Can I please have some recommendations for whether to use 175W or 250W? Thanks!

250w 20k radium on a hamilton m80 ballast... pheonix 14k are also nice and are designed for this same ballast

Deffinitely 250 for 24" tank

I second that 250 watt radium is the way to go. Phoenix is a good second choice.
