a 20w MH???
...I hope you mean a 150w..

 

[freeborder_01]

or at least a 70watt..ive seen 30watt but on a 3gal

 

[genius172]

lol yes...im still learning the differences

 

[nissan577]

maybe you met the color. the deep blue 20k?

im glad! i cant wait to see this baby with the MH!

 

[genius172]

actually i can't wait as well...i'm doing some pricing right now. i did find a sunpod for reasonable price though.

 

[nissan577]

perfect! are you gonna get it? and what color?

 

[nissan577]

anything?

 

[genius172]

ok so i've been shopping and looking around...but since i don't have the corals that really require MH can i change the bulbs on my nano?

 

[nissan577]

what do you mean? replace them?

 

[genius172]

like if i change the bulbs into a higher watt and output. i mean wouldn't that be the same as if i was changing a blown bulb?

 

[nissan577]

um i guess. are you saying upgrading the whole system? like improving your wattage? you can but if you stay with pc you wont be able to keep sps. you cant but really close. you can keep LPS and softies.

 

[nissan577]

you mean that?

 

[genius172]

yes just improving the wattage...i have mostly polyps and all the things that i researched state that polyps like pc lights because of the low intensity. but if i wanted to keep SPS corals, clams, and anemones then i should get MH.

 

[nissan577]

yep. do you want to keep any of those? if you dont then yea just stay with your lights

 

[genius172]

good question...my reason for this quest is because i just hated that yellow tint that my current lights display. so i wanted something more natural looking...how much coral can i put in my 14 to where they can grow and not kill each other?

 

[nissan577]

alot. lol. some lps have sweepers that may sting other corals. but people have luck with them. look at Demartini tank! she has a huge frogspawn and nothing happend to her. and i have one as well and it stings corals!

! lol.

 

[nissan577]

if you want a deep nice look get 2 50/50 lights or get 1 50/50 and the other bulb actinic

fantastic tank!

 

[genius172]

i will look into that tomorrow about the bulbs... so you think that two 50/50 will look good? and thank you Redsea for the compliment.

 

[nissan577]

yea im pretty sure it will. it will have a white color to it. but as well i really like the deep blue so i will get 50/50 and one actinic! but its up to you! both are amazing!
