Just one further though on this. Aside from heat, I think another concern is the rate of growth. I would like to set up a tank, and not have to touch it for a year or so, and under MH that would not be possible. As an example my 50 has a lot of softies and zoos and polyps. There are also a Candycane, a couple of closed brains, and a couple of M. digitata frags, along with Organpipe. These things are all growing. Over that tank is a 96W , 10000K PC that comes on at 11:00 AM. There is also a 96W Actinic PC that comes on at 4:00 PM. Then the 10000K goes off at 7:00 PM. and the Actinic goes out at 9:00 PM. There is also a few hours of weak, filtered sunlight in the morning.
In that tank the growth rate is not too high. The only thing that will get out of hand soon is a Colt, and a Finger Leather.
