Current setup: Standard 55gal, Icecap 660 running 3 4' VHOs (1 actinic, 2 50/50), a NO GE ballast from Wal-Mart running 2 4' bulbs (1 actinic, 1 50/50), all coralife bulbs. I have a reflector behind them. The back of my hood is open. I plan on keeping a mix of hard and soft corals, but have mostly soft right now.
Upgrading to a standard 90 (4' x 1.5'...)
What I have available: 2 Icecap 250W MH ballasts, 2 Icecap 660 ballasts.
What I don't have yet: MH reflectors/sockets, MH bulbs
Do I go with double endeds, or moguls?
I think I'm going with 2 250W 10K MHs, and some actinics... Now what would you guys recommend? 2 t-5s, maybe? More?
Also, I'll be having a custom hood built out of wood...
Thoughts on light arrangements and spacing off the water and eachother? I was thinking I'd paint the inside white and use the 48" 4 bulb reflector too...
Thanks in advance for your input!
