Lighting issue

[CigarSteve]

Hi!

Quick question for anyone's feedback. Tank size 4'x1.5'x1.5'. Lighting 2 x Phillips Actinic, 2 x Iwasaki 20k 150W.

Is this lighting spec good enough to bring out the SPS colours and their health to the best?

Thanks.

ps. I know lighting topics are pretty hot among SPS-ers (and there are many threads on it). But figured every tank is different in its own way. Hence would be good to hear from all the experts in this forum on my question.

You many wish to consider 2 x 250w metal halide or even 2 x 175w to bring out the color and growth.

I use a single 250w and a pair of T-5 lights for my 36x18x21.

Get 250 watt MH, there are more bulb choices, and if you like to run 14-20K bulbs it will still be bright enough for your SPS.
