What do you guys recommend for my 20 gallon that is 24" long, 12" wide, and 16" tall? I am definetly looking for a MH setup that is around 150 watts, does not matter if it is Pendant or Fixture.
The reason why I ask this is because currently i have two offers right not on lights:
1. Guy wants me to buy his MH 250watt 20k IceCap Pendant for $250.
2. Guy wants me to buy his MH 150watt 10k and 2x65watts Actinics for $250. its a Coralife fixture.
But my question is, is that too much light for a 20 gallon tank?

My buddy has a 175 on a 10 gallon tank and it does great. You are going to need a chiller with that much light.
