I am getting a 46 gallon bowfront this weekend.. I don't have my lights just yet.. I am going to make a retro hood with the existing pc lighting I have over my 20 gallon nano to get me started... At least till I can get the cash save for the lights.. I am thinking about getting the 36" Orbit 2x96W SunPaq w/Lunar Lights/Fan... This will give me a nice mix over this tank... Will this be ok for just some low light corals... Right now I have 5.6 watts per gallon over the 20 gal nano... The new setup over the 46 will only give me 4.1..
At the moment the 20 gallon has zoos and some xenia that is flourishing...Not to mention the nice spread of coraline algae... So I think I am doing something right there... Just don't want to shock the stuff when I move them to the 46 with 1.5 less watts of light... Plus the 46 is a few inches deeper than the 20......
Metal halide is out for now.. The wife will loose her mind if she has to sit and watch tv with the living room lit up like a highway... LOL....
Maybee I will just get the Orbit and try to keep the NO flourescent bulb with it to maybee give it a tad extra umph.....WHom knows....
