Lighting MH or VHO

[qwuintus]

20 gallon long tank

I want to keep a few sps, and some star polyps and clams

was thinking 4 55w 24" VHO's powered by fulman workhorse 7 or ill just get a 250w MH thing is i dont want to drill anything in my wall to hold up the MH, maybe a arch over my tank would be cool.

MH all the way. You won't regret it. I have MH on my 15 gallon.

if you do MH,i think you ought to do 175w. it is more than enough, IMO.

If I can get 250 ill get it, just a few more $$. Otherwise Ive seen 175w MH with bulb for $100 online used. Ill compliment the MH with 18" NO atinic 03

I have a 150 watt HQI that was only used for 8 months if you are interested for $125 plus shipping. It has the PFO mini pendant, PFO ballast and Ushio 10k bulb.
