Welcome to MR. Can you give us a description of your tank?

delayed63 · 10-25-2007, 10:58 PM

actually i have a question about lighting. i have a 150 gal. the lighting consist of 4 72" bulbs (2 actinic white, 2 actinic blue ) t 12 is this good enough. the whole system was given to me, not sure if i should change it.

It all depends on what animals you're keeping in there.

mostly fish, have 2 anemone (long tenticle, carpet) i have some yellow polyps (seem to be growing like crazy) some ricordia, and a friend also gave me an orange sponge. i think these are mostly low light, but eventualy want to get different coral.

i have 150 gal, with 2 overflow. oceanic sump powered by little giant pump. berlin pro skimmer, 4 t12 72" lights (2white 2blue) 100lbs live rock, 50lbs live sand, 3 powerheads.
the whole system was given to me for free, so i guess it's not bad for the price. lol

Hi, and welcome to MR

Nice set up for the price. The lighting may be on the low side for the anenomes which are for the most part considered high light animals.
