I’m not an engineer but can someone explain how wattage affects ability to increase the overall depth of the tank. I currently have 175W MH with 5500 Lumens. Would a 250 W MH 5500 lumens be better...

What is the other website to visit.
On the weekend a few people suggested a different website to visit instead of reef.org. Can someone please let me know what the address is?
Thanks

Skimmer and Lighting question
1 more thing.
If I started with a 250W system, would that be sufficent lighting for hard & soft corals? In 2 months time I can then proceed to phase 2 with the 95W VHO actinics?
