Upgrading reef
Hello all..
Great forum… Glad to be here. I have been doing tanks for many years.. Just moved into reefs a couple of years ago.
Great forum… Glad to be here. I have been doing tanks for many years.. Just moved into reefs a couple of years ago.
I have an acrylic 90 gal that I hate… Too many scratches… I just upgraded to a 120 gal glass 48x24x24 with two overflows… My plan is to transfer my current reef into this tank. SO my question is:
– I currently have T5′s and PC lighting.. I dont plan on upgrading lighting just yet as I do have enough wattage for the extra tank size BUT I would like to change it up soon to metal halides. I have not purchased the canopy yet so do I need a 12 inch canopy and will that work for my current lighting with this tank being so much deeper than my current 18in depth tank… I only want a 4-5in sand bed.
I was told with metal halides I needed a large, minimun 12 inch, canaopy.. I dont realy like that look
