Hey guys, I was thinking about upgrading my lights on my 65g reef tank. Right now I have 96w T5 system that has 4x24 T5 bulbs. It was on my 29g reef before I upgraded to the 65g, and Im worried that 96w of T5 isnt enough for some of my coral now that theyre in a bigger tank, and Im currently looking at a system that has 1X 250 Metal Halide with 4x 39 watt T5 HO Bulbs w/ blue led moonlights, for a total of 406w.
The questions I have are: Am I right to worry that my current system isnt a high enough wattage? And would the system Im looking at be TOO MUCH for my tank? Ive never dabbled in MHs before, so I dont know much about them. I thought i remember reading that they can burn some coral if your using too much, but i could be remembering wrong.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
