Hello aquarists, thank you for opening my thread.
I have recently bought a 72 gallon bowfront and 20 gallon tall sump and it only came with a single 48" fluorescent light for freshwater.
I am planning a reef, lightly stocked as think minimalism in tanks is very desireable and would like the option to keep any coral and fish, or at least to not be limited by the lighting in my choice.
I'm not looking to spend ridiculous amounts of money on lighting, I will be buying used as well to save a little cash.
I am considering a 4x65w compact fluorescents or 2 150w-250w MH pendants.
I have used CF's in the past and like them due to their simplicity and price range but I cannot ignore the praise I've read of MH.
Looking for suggestions please, I know you've got them
