so i am haveing to downgrade form my 90 gallon reef with 50 gallon sump and 55 gallon with 45 gallon sump to a 20 gallon with a 10 gallon sump the time isnt there to maintain to larger tanks as im working on renovateing my house.
so im going to start a 20 gallon sos nano and do the nano zeovit system with a 10 gallon sump.
so far i have the drilled 20 gallon the stand sump and lighting.
olnything i cant decide on is run a 250 watt metal halide or a 175 watt metal halide mogul i have. and what bulb to go with. i have a couple power comapcts kickcing around i could use for actinics
here is where i started and where i am at so far
how i got the tank
all cleaned up and old overflow removed
cleaned up and on the stand i found that will work with a litle more suport and 175 watt mh on it. what woudl eb better 175 or the 250 ? will the 250 be to much for the 20 gallon ?
i will have more updates this week once i build the new overflow and work on the sump and plumbing a bit.
