Coverage on single DE 150W MH?

[Charley Diesing]

I have a decent fixture so I don't really want to upgrade the light... For my next build if I can help it.

How big of a tank can I go?

For a single 150 watt halide bulb in a decent pendant. 24 inch long x 20 inch wide x 20 inch deep. What fixture/pendant and what bulb?

I ran a DE250 in my 36"x18x20 and it struggled to cover the width(18") with sps on both rear and front walls. You would have to hang it higher with a 150, but then it would possibly lack par for depth, in case you want to grow more light demanding corals

No problem going 24" wide and 24" down

with the proper reflector and distance from water you can get a 2ft sq coverage easily..
