Skimmer and Lighting question

Patrick,

Stop by and see my system some day.

Yes a 250MH will work for what you are wanting to keep. Add in the two VHO's and you will be doing very well indeed.

[img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] If you do come over tho keep in mind I have a deeeep sand bed which brings everything up closer to the light. It is 5 to 6 inches deep in places.

It is a 250W Iwasaki with 3x95W VHO actinics. It is a tight fit with the lid. But it does light up the tank. All of my SPS is showing growth. In particular two staghorns of mine are budding like crazy. We won't even go into the montipora. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I'll keep holding the colt frag for ya.. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Victor,

I hope you don't take my post as any kind of an attack. I am glad your LPS are doing great.. My main worry is that someone reading this will think that with a PC setup they will have the success you are having. Your system is working for you and is doing so very well I take it. I once thought that by putting a whole lot of watts over my tank I could keep anything. I lost a couple of softies and almost some LPS. I don't want others to make that mistake.
