 How Big A Tank Could Use 250 Metal Halide? I just traded a UV filter i didn't use for a 250 watt metal halide 10,000 K, two 65 watt 50/50, and 4 dubble led moon lights. it is a 24" hood but i was wondering how long a tank can I iluminate with a dubble ended 250 watt HQI metal halide. I was told it could be like 24"long x 24" wide tank. I will like to know for I am building an acrilic tank around this hood to have mixed corals and maybe a clam.  |
