Now I'm moving into a new place and I'm going to try to go back to a reef tank, I have a small tank already, 24x18x14t but I also have a 3 foot 60 gallon. I have a 250w HQI but was wondering if it would be worth selling the light and going LED and using the smaller tank. The light fixture is available in a double unit as well.... thoughts?

I couldn't find a lighting forum to ask so thought I'd drop it in here,

Thanks for any input.
How did the salt seep into your walls? Did you frequently spill water on them? Anything below 10000Kelvin is pretty yellow looking. It will grow stuff in a reef but probably won't look very attractive.
