Ok, so let me start this and leave myself open to flaming :lol: I am not totally convinced that a 22 gallon needs MH to get great color on zoas and palys, etc. I have $200 to spend on a new prop tank (My attempts to make my own have utterly failed <grin> )
All things being equal, I'd love to have the Finnex M-Tank 22g Glass Frameless Aquarium w/150W HQI + 18W x 2 power compact + LED... but it is $374 plus shipping. (I do NOT want an acrylic tank for this- will be in and out of it wawy too much)...
Should I shell out the extra dough out of my paycheck for the MH+PC+LED, or wait until later and see if I need to upgrade the lights at all and get the Finnex M-Tank 22g Glass Frameless Aquarium w/36W x 3 power compact - no LED for $239 plus shipping...? How much is it to just buy a MH light for a tiny aquarium like this one if I decide to upgrade it later?
I guess I could just sell the Deltec AP600 to get the extra cash, but am worried a bit about the hassle of selling used equipment. It's in like new condition, but is too much of a PITA for me maybe.
:thoughtful:
