I was looking at going to MH. I have a 80 gal about 33in deep. will 2 250w HQI work? I would like to have a reef tank with a few fish. I was looking at the SunPod HQI. any thoughts? thanks
2x250 sounds fine.
If you are not using supplemental fluorescent, then use 14K halides. If you are using extra fluorescent, like Actinics, use 10K or so.
