![]() Well I'm done with the radion and back to halides
Looking at lights I am planning on a lumetek ballast and Hamilton cabo sun reflector. Is mogul or DE better and y Tank is 24"x24"x12" sps only. Is a 250w to much. |

![]() Good choice. You should be fine with 250w. I'd probably go 10" off water line.

![]() My manufacturer says I need to be 12" off the waterline. Would the extra two inches make a difference?

![]() Only heat wise. Farther will put less heat in the tank. I just suggested 10" as a minimum.

![]() I would decide based on the bulb you want to use. In 250, I'd want a phoenix 14k, which is a DE bulb.

![]() Color, growth I joined the cool club and while I do see benifits of led Im just not getting what I want from them and while I spose you could say mitras, radion pro or hybrid the halide is proven and still used buy the best of the best growers. RR,tyree,cherry,cornbred. I buy there corals because if there colors. I want to retain there colors Quote:
Of coarse I'd want a radium but people are squeaking about the phoenix and the aquamaxx bulbs I only used geissmann and aqua medic before didn't care for the latter |

![]() I never liked the radium in 250, I found it a bit purple for my tastes. My favorite all time bulb is the 400w radium. I think the phoenix 14k is a close rival in color. But whatever you go with, I'm sure you'll be happy with the results!
