MH lights

[fishzen]

Is 250w MH and 130 pc actinics too much for a 20 Gal tank?
Should I go with only 175 MH plus the actinics
Trying to convert to a mini reef.
Thanks.

In my opinion it is overkill, I'd go with the 175 watt. Unless your going to eventually get a bigger tank. If thats the case get the 250 watt.

Yea, that would cook your tank. Not just with too much light, but with too much heat as you will have major overheating problems with 250W on that size tank.
Go with the 175's
