Hey Guys just looking for some input.
I have a 58g tank that I am redoing and I am wondering what kind of lighting you would put over it.
I am planning on putting acans, chalices, zoas and some sps, but not sure how much sps, it will probably be more acans, chalices then anything.
I currently own a ready fit 2 t5 bulb system and a 250w halide, I was going to put the halide over to the far right of my tank to cover where most corals will be and leave by the over flow just covered by the t5's. I was going to put 1 actinic bulb and not sure of the the other yet any thoughts would be great, and I was going to run the 250 with a 250w radium bulb.
So I am asking myself and anyone else a couple questions.
1 - do I just use the current lighting and be done
2 - do I switch to a 150 watt lamp and add 1 more t5
3 - or do I just go and get a more t5's (add 3 or 4 more t5's
So if anyone has any thoughts please let me know, looking for any thoughts so that i can make the best choice.
Thanks
Rich
