alright so I'm a lil stuck on what I should do with lighting.....I'm thinkin of converting my 55g freshwater to saltwater and if I do that I'll be consolidating my anemone tank and reef tank into the 55. I believe its your standard 48x13x20...I'll have to measure to make sure. Anyways, The tank I have now is mostly SPS and I have some clams, the lighting I have is 150W HQI's on both the anemone tank and the reef, tho the reef tank is a lot more shallow than the anemone tank its a 15long. The HQI ballasts I have also run 175W mogul base MH's....do you think thats sufficient light in a 55? Or should I step up to the 250's? Does anyone out there have a 55 reef and what type of lights do you have on it? Or should I just leave everything alone. The other thing I'ld have to deal with is the 55 has a DIY concrete background on it...do I leave it on there and let coraline grow all over it and possible look really cool, or should I try to remove it???? Sounds like a P.I.TA huh.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
