i would go with the less watts you can and still see in the tank. so unwanted algae wont grow. Like i had 40 watts on my 65 and had no problems and then i started adding corals and up went the watts and now up came some algae

i just bought 2 96 watt power compacts 1 10k and 1 atinic what do you guys think ?

 

[Reefer26]

or should i just go with all 10 k dont want any algae? also maybe you guys might know what tank i bought its a custom 130 that exotic had at half price apparently someone cancelled the order its a hex its 48 in the back and 36 in the front great view from the sides
