i am buying a 65 gallon 24" deep. i already have a 250 watt mh and am getting 2 * 95 watt VHr should i get 4*95 watt retro, its only 20 dollars more? what kind of bulbs should i get? is it better for the vho to be attinic or to have a 20K mh and 50/50 VHO? what would you do? is this enough light?

will these 4 bulbs and a aqua medic oceanligh pendant fit in the hood of a 65?

szeth13,

lighting is very personal,

have a friend with a 65g and he loves 250w SE 14k hamilton, a pair and nothing else

others like 10k with plenty of actinics,

its all personal preference, but with your current setup that would be more than enough light, good luck with your choice,
