200 gallon lighting

[lietz06]

So I jus got a 200 gallon tank recently and it came with lights but I think he said they were 50/50. I would like to get better lights for it. I had T-5 lighting on my last tank and really liked it. Our tank is about 84-85 inches long. Does anyone have any advice on what lighting to get? Are there any lights that are that long? I have a couple anemones and no corals just so you know. Thanks

nems actually need alot of light...What are the other dimensions of the tank...You can do say 2 fixtures of you want....I am guessing you will have to go with a 6 bulb. Or you could do MH w T5 suppliments....

I have a 225g tank...but it is 72" long...I have the 3 250W MH W/T5's

you could build a canopy and have T5 retrofits. one being 6 x 54 watt 48" bulbs and the second being 6 x 39 watt 36" bulbs thats 84"

better yet what is the depth with that tank being a long? you might be able to go T5 since it might be a shallower tank
