Damn! I still have a VHO setup from a couple tanks ago. I loved what it did for my Iwasaki 6500Ks

Iwasakis with the requisite Ice Cap Ballast.

There was a time when i thought there was no way that anything could make corals fluoresce as nicely as the uvl 454 did.

LED's these days actually seem to be on par.

You'll probably need a chiller on a 20x20x20 with 250W halide Mike. I'd try the 6200 on it first for a bit, since you already have it and all...
