400w or 250 HQI
 

I was wondering which is a better light the 400w Mogul or the 250w HQI

Better for what, Andy?

Better for light intensity and coral growth. I'm trying to convince the wife to let me buy a 400w system, when i goto my 50 gallon to replace my 250 HQI


P.S hows the kalk working for you Alan

50 gallon with center brace? Why not try to get another 250?

(haven't set up the kalk drip yet. :smile: )

I'm thinking of removing the center brace. Shouldn't be that big of a deal to do.

Getting a second 250 right know is not an option I have to make do with one or the other

I would say the 250 is more intense, although the 400 might give you better coverage. Unless you can do a swap without it costing any more, I'd stay with the 250.
