Hi..
Would love to know if you think that (3) 150 65K Iwaski bulbs are enough light for my tank. I have a 225 gal...6' x 2' H x 2.5' w tank (or at least I think its 225) :). It's been established a long time, haa soft corals, and one bubble, plus some disc anenomes. Also fish and not much else. I am boosting calcium by adding kalk. I want to keep sps and clams now, but want to have the correct lighting. I have supplemented with 5' actinic HO bulbs, so I usually have a nice crisp light. But I have been told that the 150 watt bulbs are not enough light. Your opinions, please, so I don't have to keep rebuying my lighting? And also, where online is a good place to buy if I need to?

Thanks,
Jude

IMO, no your lighting is not right for SPS & clams. Pump that upto 250w lighting and you'll be on track.
