Default -hey

-hey pgfraser just got some double-ended metal halides last month(20k)
about as blue as they come I'm pretty sure. -anyways when picking metal
halide, things can get expensive, but let me be the first 2 say that for reef tanks lighting will be the center of everything. It will determine what clams,corals, and even fish u shud get. -I'm goin' softies so i got 2-70 watt
metal halides bulbs. But honestly for a tank that size it's hard 2 say, myb
2-250 watt bulbs. also if ur considering going double-ended like me u'll have 2 get a piece of glass 2 tone down the amount of uv radiation that enters ur tank cuz double-ended don't have that uv protection membrane and pass way 2 much uv radiation. -for a tank ur size you'll definitly need good penetration
