I want to get MH's for my 55 gllon tank. What watts and which bulbs, 12000 k, or 14000k, thank you and have anice day.
I am trying to save money so if you have any tips, i would really appreciate it.

deepends on the watts but 10k ushio would be better than either 12k bulbs aren't reliable. never seen/heard of 14k

For a 55,I wouldn't go more than 175 watts.And stay away from the 12k bulbs...
