well,I've run a 33gal on a 250mh and not one problem as for heat.On the other hand most reefers may agree the smaller the system the faster the changes . Now not to scare you away, read as much as you can go to LFS's ask questions go to other sites on the web, and lastly dont let frustration and failuer beat you down. All of us started right where you are now, and still don't have all the answers,and fail with all the info and experance

+1 for Metal Halides if you want to keep LPS or SPS or clams.

My Nano - 34 Gallons - 150w HQI Metal Halide - 3 Power Heads - No Over Heating Problems.

What the heck?? Why aren't you guys getting heating issues??? What kind of powerheads do you have? Maybe it's my powerheads, and not the lights...

I am using a compact flourenscent light with my ten gallon. I was going to buy another one for this one if I bought it. I don't know anything about T5 lighting. What are the pros and cons with T5?
