Peace All,
I am not even a month into this "hobby" (seems like so much more), and I have a question about lighting. I think I am running PC lights right now, and I wanted to upgrade for the future and for corals. Right now I have live rock, sand, 8 snails, 3 scarlet crabs, a tiny mushroom frag and a Black percula clown. I'll be adding a Neon Goby and a cleaner shrimp tonight, and most likely another percula clown next week (to give the Black one in there now at least a week to get used to the tank). Is 175W of MH too much over a 29g tank such as this? I'm going to use an HQI Ushio 20K bulb.
Thanks for your help!
