After doing some research on lighting on this forum it's stated 4w/gal is ideal. Now I'm looking at 2 fixtures a 36" fixture w/ 1-250 15k MH and 4-39w T5 bulbs and the other has a 400w 15k MH instead of 250w. If I go with the 250 it will give me 6.25w/gal whereas the 400 would give me 8.55w/gal...

I have to admit that the carnations a rather tough...But if you do decide to give it a try you will first need to invert the rock and have it hang upside down as this is how they are in the wild (Found hanging upside down in caves), They also like a lot of current as well and you had better keep...
