Lighting Concern

[drunktank]

Going to be setting up at 30g cube with some corals.
I'm not sure what the best lighting would be since i'm so use to dealing w/ fish. I was looking into the Coralife delux w/ the MH and actinics, but is it necissary to have a MH? can i get away w/ just PC?

any suggestions would be great-

You should look into Kasei's MH pendant that also has supplemental PC bulbs built into the pendant.

Run a 14k bulb if your concerned that it's a 250w pendant. I've seen 150w pendants over a 30 cube and it is too dim. With Kasei's pendant, you can have dusk to dawn with the PC's in the pendant.

Yup and everythings in mint condition.

BTW what are you planning on keeping in the tank?
