180 MH lighting Advice?

[Evil Nemo]

I have a 180 (72 X 24 X 24"). Can I light this for SPS/LPS with a 3 X 250 watt setup? I have 3 Large Lumen Bright pendant mogul fixtures that I can use?

three 250w halides will light this size tank nicely, you may want to add some t5 suppliments for dawn dusk effect but it isnt really needed.

They will do fine. If you want more light, you might want to upgrade to 400w or go with LED's. I have a 72" wide 210 and am using 400w(total of three).

Thanks, Steve

You will be fine with 3 x 250 watt halides for that set up.
