We are thinking of changing our lighting. We have 3 400 watt MH pendants each light is on it's own slider for 175.00 each

Hey, I am setting up a 150 gal 6 ft tank. I dont have the canopy completly built yet. I have never used these lights b4 but it would be for a 20" high tank. Would 400 be too much? and how about turning the pendants? Any info and advice would be great. I work in Sweedsboro so if this works it would be an easy transaction.

As long as you build a high canopy and if you are going to be raising hard corals. Our canopy is over 15 inches high on a 210 gallon tank and yes you can turn the pendants ours is on a slider so it makes it easy to work on. You are more then welcome to come see our set up I'll pm you my cell

K, just measured and the tank is 20 high but the canopy is only 12" high. As far as corals, I really am not sure what kind I want but do want to be as flexible as possible. So, would the 400 be too much for softies or do they need more light?
