Morning reefers. I am almost ready to start cycling my RedSea reefer 250 53 gallon saltwater tank. Next purchase will be lights and a power head or 2. Ultimate goal of tank is to be a basic mixed reef ..nothing too crazy. Mostly fish and some ‘beginner’ coral. I’m looking at the Maxspect Razor LED lights. They have a 150watt and 200watt. Is 200watt too much for this tank? Tank length is 36inches and 53 gallons
falls right in the middle of their recommendations according to tank size/length so I guess I could go either way. Next question is power heads. Is one Eco Tech MP40 enough? Or do I need two? Or 1 MP60? So many options! I appreciate any and all feedback!!!! Oh and what about a battery back up system? I’m out of my home 12-15 hours a day and really think I need some protection. Thank you and enjoy your day.
