Opinions please:
Just got a dual 400W metal halide PFO retro for my 55G which will run 2 6500K Iwasakis and will be suplemented with 2X96W PC actinics. Is this too much for the 55G?
Galleon: This topic has your name all over it!
I plan to upgrade to a 180G this December at which time I will add a third 400W and another 2 96W PC Actinics.
How should I acclimate the tank to the new lighting (have 2X65W PC now.) The hood will be suspended over the tank from the ceiling.
My tank has mostly soft corals, zooanthids and mushrooms w/ 1 frogspawn coral. My goal is to keep SPS, clams and more LPS.
