what kind of bulbs do i need for a reef tank?

 

[loopy101]

depends on what types of corals you want to keep.

really? I didn't know that...I have 125 gal tank. Curing more live rock but in 2 weeks it should be ready to go. I need a 72" light but not sure what to buy. Thought that as long as you have a certain bulb for reefs your ok

Its all about lumms,par,watts or something like that.
MH gives off the most penitrating light followed by t-5s and I dont believe there are anymore are there.

if u want less headache or hv to upgrade later on, get either mh or t5.
