Is 250w mh to much for my 29g reef?

Sorry if I missed it, but what kind of corals are you planning on keeping anyway? You may have issues with some corals bleaching from too much light.

I think you may have difficulty keeping some LPS under that strong lighting. If it was SE instead of DE you would be more likely to get away with it.

Wait though, you said your tank is 19" deep? Maybe you could get away with the DE then... Is it a hex tank then, or? What are the rest of the dimensions?

My tank is 20" deep and I have too much light for some of my SPS. My caps, catspaw,and millies are not responding that well.
The other side is that I have Monties, and a few others (I don't know what they are called) that do really well, and my clams love all the light.
