qtpinoyboy408 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I just bought a 29 gal tank (30x12x19). I wanted to get a metal halide light for it so i can put all kinds of coral and would not have to upgrade in the future if i get more coral. I wanted help on selecting something from hellolights.com from the halide section. This will be my only light on my tank and i wanted to get it at a really good price and get the most for my money. If anyone could help at all that would be great. Thanks, Ryan Link to comment

EtOH_is_good Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Lighting is rather personal. I just started doing some reading about 250w MH bulb comparisons. This is the main data page http://www.cnidarianreef.com/. But the thread is in Reefcentral lighting forum. It's long but a pretty good start. Link to comment

OxInYourBox Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=26922 I'm running a PFO pendant with PFO ballast and 20K XM bulb. Here are some threads for you to check out (one is the one EtOH mentioned): http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...threadid=254667 http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...threadid=201570 I can make reccomendations however you haven't said if you're going pendant or retrofitting a hood. Personally I love my setup and the only thing I would possibly change is by going with an Ice Cap ballast which I may do to run 250W HQI. Link to comment
