Yea i need to do that . but do u think 250s would be to much ? and changing the ks to 14?
if i only turn on the mh it looks so dim.

really nice tank. but are you sure those are 20k? they seem white. and the 90watt pc are white and actinic?
what color do you want the tank? and i agree with henry one more 175w will be good. and 250 might be good but does the 175w light hit the bottom or its not that bright? if you are planing to put corals like lps and sps in the bottom and want bright light then yes. but if not then dont.
sorry but your tank seems familiar. were you the one that came to my house to get some stuff?
