Lights

[Fishguy13]

What kind of lighting do you use on you SH tank because i know they dony need high lighting?

Well you do know that no fish really NEEDS light correct?

Depending on what you want to keep as far as corals and algae will determine your lighting.

I have 110 watts of PC on my 25 gallon sea horse tank. I just keep macro algae, and it seems to do pretty well.

You're right... seahorses don't need any special lighting. If you are planning on just seahorses, a standard flourescent strip light will do fine.

If you're planning on any macroalgae or polyps or such, you'd definitely need to upgrade the lighting with a power compact.

I'd save any corals/halide lighting for the 180g reef you're planning
