Candy cane and brain coral questions

[cp3823]

What kind of lighting should I use on a 20 long with mainly frogspawn, candy canes, and a brain coral?

I have a 150watt MH coralife pro with dual 36watt actintics, but I think it might be too much?

What lighting would you recommend?

Yes, the MH's might be a little much light, as well as costing more in electricity.

You could use four regular 36" t8 bulbs and ballasts (make sure you get the reef lights for them though 10000k, actinic, ect.)

you will be fine with the light you have, I kept candy canes in a 15g with 175w mh with no problems, your tank is 30" long and the ends of the tank will not be brightly lit by the MH as you mh will cover 24" at best
