I am looking for a 175 watt Metal Halide. I would prefer a retrofit because I already have a canopy with 130 watts of PCs in there and I want to add the MH and keep some higher light corals, but fixtures are ok to.

Do you think that a 175 plus the 130 watts of PCs is good for a 20L? I am new to keeping corals and I know they need light but I don't want to cook them.

Thanks

I bought a used retrofit on E-Bay which included a 175 MH with two 40 watt actintics ballast all wires and a reflector delivered for $225. , but there are new ones there also.
