Lord / Micro Collectors. Set up question.

Please tell me what size tank (gallons / depth of tank) and lighting that you are keeping your Micros and Lords under. Please list the K rating and brand of bulb. Thanks in advance.

Mine is 16in tall, I have a 150 mh 14k phoenix that I run. I run those for 2-3 hrs a day, then I run 72 watt 50/50 pc's for about 4 -5hrs.

Thanks A D. Wow I run my 150 Phoenix 14K about 9 hours per day. Anyone else?

Thanks, Darren

Thanks folks. Anyone else? I am surprised at how short some peoples MH photo period is. Maybe I am burning mine too long each day.

My lord looked best under 250w 20k XM moguls, running around 8 hours a day.

I have a 29 gallon with 1 150hqi 14k coralife. My photo period is 12 hours mh, 12 hours lunar lights. My micros and acans very in their location in the tank from the bottom to the top. Most are in direct lighting. My growth has been excellent.
