PC or T6 lighting?

[martyna]

The place im looking at has 106 watt T6 and a 130 watt PC fixture for the same price($80), which would be better for my 150?
They also have a 260 watt pc for $190, is that a good price?

If your plan is to have corals, then both of those would be nothing on a 150. If its just to light up the tank, go with the 260 watt PC fixture.

Agree. Not enough light for corals. If you want LR and coralline with a FOWLR, then go with the 260.

I dont really plan on any corals, just like some coralline growth on my rock. All ive got is the 12k (i think?) 65 watt that came with the tank, and it just isint enough
