cellowithgills Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I bought a 75 gallon tank today to upgrade my dt tank. At this point i've got a 250w hai and 2 56w t5's. I'm inclined to think that they would be ok because it's the same depth. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Should be enough for the depth. Might not get full coverage though. I'd go for it, just place corals accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'd recommend adding another halide to get full coverage. With only one 250w you will only get about half. If you placed it in the center you could have some very low light sides that might work for softies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm ok with lower lighting near at the edges. It's a good place for my nps and softies. I've got an extra single end 250w set up if I don't like it. It's got a bat wing reflector, so how should it go over tank? Front to back, or left to right?

Mine are left to right pendants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I've only used that type of reflector once but I think I had it reflecting left to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
