uhuru Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Which light should I get for my 30x30x18 cube? 1) Sunlight Supply Maristar 24" 1 - 250w DE 10K MH + 2x24w T5HO, or 2) Coralvue/Lumenarc pendant 1 - 400w SE 20K MH #2 option is cheaper than #1 option, but #1 option is on clearance for $210 w/out MH ballast and bulbs.

chewie Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The lumenarc setup will easily cover the 30x30 area. With 18" depth you could even get away with a 250w in a lumenarc. I don't have experience with the maristar, but it does look nice and would depend if you wanted to have a canopy or not. If no canopy the maristar would look pretty slick.

andy Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I just upgraded from 175W 10k to 250W 10k on my 60 gal (18" deep) and I wish I had gone to 400W. I'd vote #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I would buy the lumenarc that I have for sale. Where are you getting the cube from? I would love to setup a tank like that. Later ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
