I run 175s
I run 175s
I have a standard 55 gallon reef ready AGA. I run two 175 watt SE XM 10ks and a 55 watt pc actinit. I have a mixed reef. I have run this succesfully for years with good growth.
I don't run a chiller, my max temp in the summer is about 83 degrees. I considered upgrading to 250s but feared I would then need a chiller. So your decision may include consideration as to whether you want the expense of a chiller.
