> I have a 75 gal reef tank. I am looking to add better lighting for clams and other corals to add in the future. The depth of my tank is about 21". What wattage of MH and PC or VHO's would be sufficient. Also, what name brand would u recommend? Do you recommend a site? In the future if I wanted to go bigger in the tank, how deep or how many gals. would these lights work?:help:

If you want to keep clams, try putting 2, 250W MH's on the tank. OR you can try putting 4 or more T5 VHO's on the tank, but the MH intensity would be better for more light demanding corals and would give you more room to upgrade.
