Hi

I'm setting up a new reef tank. The dimensions of the tank are 100cmx58cmx58cm. I'm in a position to purchase an arcadia 4 series pendant 2 x 250W T5 39W pendant cheap. The MH lamps are 20k. Will this be overkill on a tank of this size?

Many thanks

Well I don't know cm inches or feet would be great but what are you wanting to keep in the tank?

Its roughly 3ft 6" x 2ft x 2ft. Would like to keep fish and not have any limitations with the corals I want to keep.

Thanks
