WTB lighting fixtures for my tank.
 
Trying to turn my fresh water tank into a reef tank.

i believe is a 36G bowfront tank. 30.5'x11x18.

looking for a lighting fixtures that will fix my tank and enough power light for SPS.

Any recommendation?

definitely, go with 2 metal halide ballasts, 14,000k bulbs.

call mitch at bow valley aquariums on Friday (theu just moved and have no phones)
He has both PC and metal halide. Offer him cash and he'll cut you deal.
Tell him Rahim sent you....

Good Luck

here is a pedant for sale in calgary, you would need 1 more though but 250w is what you would want for SPS

i only keep FW fish, but I have bought FW double and triple bulb from mitch for about half price of any store in calgary. I never did inquire about the SW stuff.

Worst case scenario...got to www.fishneedit.com and pick up two halide pendants for cheap...later you can add the connectable T5HO for supplimental lighting.

Another reefer on here just bought one and he doesn't seem unhappy...try searching it out.

Why does everyone say you need MH :p

T5's would be a sweet option!

I know someone growing sps under PC's at the top of the tank and they are doing just fine :) Granted it is a small tank though.
