It was suggested that I would need about 260 watts of light for my 125 gallon (dimensions 60x18x24) which I plan on having FOWLR and just one single bubble coral. I ran into this chart that has its own reccomendations in which the wattage is ALOT higher.
Ill post the specs for my size tank :
60" x 18" x 24" 125 gallons :
60" VHO 4x140W (560W total)
60" Metal Halide 2X175WMH, 2X96W PC (542W Total)
SIX 20" Aqualight PC 1x96 QUAD (576W total)
SIX 20" SunPaq PC 1x96 QUAD (576W total)
BTW power compacts retrofit is the lighting I will be going with and I was told the 48" 2-65 watt Actinic and 2-65 watt 10,000K would be ideal as I stated which would be 260 watts.
Any suggestions?
