The guys at the local stores have given me conflicting advice.
One guy told me for my tank I need to spend aprox. $800 to $900 for Metal Halide lighting. He also told me not to get anything less, as it would not be sufficent to keep the corals. Another guy showed me some lighting that would cost about a third of what the first guy told me.
I need some advice from someone who is not looking to sell me something.
I have a 75 gallon tank , can someone help me suggestions for lighting for my tank? |
I need to know more info on the lighting. How much lighting...watts do I need for a 75 gallon tank? Is there a formula? If you can pass on some info or refer me somewhere to help with this it would be deeply appreciated.
