id imagine thats plenty for softies and LPS.
You could maybe go with a single 250w MH pendant maybe..probably only cost a slight bit more then that PC fixture. Then that would be plenty light for whatever. or maybe a 4bulb T5HO retro

Why is it that there are hardly any light fixtures that come in 30"? 20L and 29 are pretty common tanks, you'd think there would be a better selection. It's just something that's always made me mad because it seems like I've always had 30" tanks. That being said, get a 30" 150W Current Sunpod MH. They might even have the 30" in 250W now. I bought one for my 29 gal. and love it. Now I have a 30" Oceanic 50 gal. and moved the Sunpod onto that. Looks great on that tank too. Fairly inexpensive for a MH fixture and it's good quality. I've had mine over a year and have had no problems.
