Waiting for my new shallow reef aquarium - uncertain about lighting selection
My rimless 30x30x18 reef, constructed by Coast-to-Coast, will arrive in December. I'm grateful for any comment about optimal lighting for this size. I love the shimmer effect and will be using MH. Question: Would one 250 watt 14000K MH be sufficient, or a 150 watt, with additional actinic bulbs? My reef will include a variety of corals. Feel free to suggest specific light models. Thank you.
