    150w vs. 250w MH Question

    On a 24" deep, 180 gallon is it ok to only have 3x150mh instead of 3x250mh. If i only have lps, anemones and softies, do i really need 250w or can i get away with 150w?

    Sump/fuge size

    For my 180g reef, i'm trying to decide the sump/fuge size. Would a 75g 48"x18x20 tank be sufficient? Would a 90g 48x18x24 better? Smaller, bigger or 1 of these 2? What would you guys recommend?

    Background Question

    On my tank i have a black background and love it. Seems that the majority of people dont use the backgrounds but actually spraypaint the back of the tank black or whatever color. Why do you guys paint instead of just taping a background to the back?
