54 corner what kind of lights

[heddy]

i am considering upgrading the lighting on my tank. currently i have the actinic and a regular bulb. what specifically am i looking for? anyone else have this kind of tank? a brand/specific light fixture recommendation would be appreciated!
thanks!

Choosing new lighting all depends on what you plan on keeping in your tank. So???
I think that your tank is 38" at it's widest point on the top. You should look in to retrofitting with power compacts (PCs) or VHO fixtures.

not sure what i would like to put in, probably an anenome and some beginner corals. thanks for the reply though. thought i would have more input

:notsure:
a beginner question for you though... what is a retrofitting? can i buy that at my store?
thanks again

Anenome do best with metal Halide lights.

1 MH over the tank will be perfect. I have a 175W in a DIY canopy and could not be happier.
