Florescent lights

Whats the brightest floro you can buy, or use in a 125 gal. long tank, I have 4 lights, attached is a pic? thanx todd

Im a bit confused by ur question. VHO over the top would probably be the highest output you could put over the top. Others like PC bulbs. Actual wattage varies on how long your tank is.

is 10 k vho ??? Im Lost when it comes to lights. But i have 10 K in there now. sorry, but like i said, im just not too bright when it comes to lights Todd

VHO is a differnt type of bulb... it looks like a flourescent bulb, acts like a flourescent bulb but runs on a different ballast. 10k NO is much weaker han 10k VHO

Still confused, its easy to do
Are you looking to only replace the existing bulbs you have or do u mean the brightest possible setup using flor. style bulbs?

 

[blemmy_guy]

brightest possible useing what i have. thanx todd

that looks like a FOWLR system to me..youre not going to be able to support too much corals with that light(with the exception of zoanthids and some mushrooms, the basics)..
id say go with 2 10 K bulbs and 2 20K bulbs..

Sounds good to me, i will replace them as soon as i can get them in, ill go with metal halides in about 6 months, due to budget. thanx to all todd.. ps, if theres more ideas keep em comin! todd
