MH lighting advice

[cajunsnapper75]

Need some advice for a freshwater to reef conversion.

I have a drilled 240 gallon tank with 2 corner overflows into a 70 gallon. The tank dimensions are 96x24x24 (lwh) and there are two glass braces 10 inches wide each and evenly spaced on top of the aquarium. I would like to hang the lights from my ceiling.

I think I need 3 400 W MH and 4 48" actinic VHO. I am not sure what type of bulb (10K, 14K, etc.) and what combination of different bulbs for my tank.

thanks

3 x 250watt HQI PFO mni pendants with 14K lamps is all you need.

What ever lighting you choose be aware of catalina aquaium... They are horrible...

You may also consider 10k lamps since you're going to be supplimenting with actinics.
