I'm worried that if i run a 250 I will have to keep everything on the bottom. I have a hood over a 29 gallon, the hood is 9" tall so the bulb will be about 7 to 8 inches above the water.
There is about 16" of water in the tank.
I am afraid that if I run a 250 any rics and yuma that I put in the tank might not like all the light. I would like to keep leather and zoos at the top. Rics, Zoos and Yuma along the bottom.
Probably getting a 15 or 20k bulb and it's going to be SE.
How much difference is there really?
I know people are going to say 250! 250! 250! HQI! HQI!
But, I know I've seen a lot of very nice tanks with 175s and even flourescent (VHO, PC etc).
Heat and energy consumption are a big issue for me.
Thanks!
