YET ANOTHER LIGHTING QUESTION.
I HAVE JUST AQUIRED A 175WATT PENDANT LIGHT FOR MY REEF TANK. THIS IS A 29 GAL TALL. WHAT TYPE OF COVER SHOULD I USE WITH THIS INTENSE LIGHT SO I DO NOT GET HEAT BUILDUP? ALSO DO I NEED TO USE AN ACTINIC BULB ALSO? THE FIXTURE CAME WITH A 175 WATT 10,000K BULB. I HAVE BEEN USING THREE STRIP LIGHTS UP TO THIS POINT. TANK CONTAINS A VERY LARGE MAROON CLOWN FISH, ONE TRI-COLOR DAMSEL, FORTY POUNDS OF LIVE ROCK, TONS OF GREEN STRIPE MUSHROOMS, TONS OF BUBBLE MUSHROOMS, AND ASSORTED SNAILS TO HELP WITH KEEP IT CLEAN.
