Light, we need WHAT kind of light?


Oh no, we figured we could go fairly cheaply on lighting as we will have this set up as a FOWLR tank with an anemone..oops key words there eh Ken....WITH an anemone...the lighting just changed. We were going to get your average VHO lights plug them in, no heat no worries...yah so anyways that above WITH means metal halides all the way. There goes that budget! Thank goodness we sold the 180g, we could never have done it properly on a budget! Ken recommended the best idea for lighting so we can have whatever we want and not have to re-purchase later. Saved us a lot down the road, as we aren't sure that we will stick it out as a FOWLR and at least this means the lighting is ready for ANYTHING! What did we get? Actually Ken built it all, and did a great job! We have 2 VHO actinics, 1 250 watt metal halide with 2 moonlights. It looks great! You wouldn't believe how much it makes the 50g seem "dim". Wow. And the price is handlable. How much credit do we have with Aquareef???

Now we can't decide on FOWLR or REEF??? More discussion obviously in order!
