Adding more MHs

[Doug]

Seaquest, recent articles, would disagree 100% with you, and agree 100% with Bryan. These are just my observations, so please dont take it the wrong way. I love these posts, as I experiment with all kinds of lighting.

With my 400 watt 12K, I must use supplemental lighting. Its not enough alone & very dim. I am currently running a single 400 over the center and a pair of 40 watt 65K normal output bulbs on each side. Before I moved, I used a 175 watt 10K halide on each side.

But a 400 watt 55K or 65K alone in the center pendant, can supply sufficient light to the reef.

I dont think the 12K alone would provide enough light, unless its not a visable light, as you seem to be saying.
