I am curiouse as to what type of and how much lighting everyone in the area uses.
What type of lighting do you use
- Thread starter pprmntshrmps
- Start date
on 55 g 260w CF fixture 130w 10k and 130w actinic with led moonlights
on 120 g 260w CF fixture same as above and 520w CF fixture for a total of 390w 10K and 390w actinic
not recommended if you are planning to do SPS, however I have several sps corals doing well in my tank along with clams

2x250DE Phoenix 14K on mag hqi ballasts over a 30 breeder plus ~6 hours of direct sunlight. it's too bright of course, so i got them hung really high.
i figure it's free electricity for the winter since it takes pretty much exactly that amount of load off my apartment heating. i'll switch to something else come spring, hopefully i'll have my new tank built by then.

3x 36" VHO on Ice cap 430,
2x 10k, 1 actinic, over a 46 gallon bow front. Bulbs are coralife, which don't have reflectors, just a white canopy. Its ok, just not great. I will probably be replacing with URI bulbs with the internal reflectors.
Again like the PCs not enough for the more demanding sps, but my montipora's, xenia, star polyp, mushrooms and zoas at the bottom have been growing well.
