I'm Halide curious

Very nice tank. And its not so much that I don't think the kessils will be up to do the job, its more curiosity on my part. I have never had a metal halide tank, and the combination is a way for me to see if there really is that big of difference. I'm really hoping to get the fast growth of led, combined with the intense coloration of the radium bulbs.

My original plan was going to use 4 A360We tuna blues and then use a A360w Tuna sun as my "high noon" in order to help my mangroves and clams. But the Tuna Sun unit has been back ordered for awhile, and a used or second hand metal halide setup is similar price.

Also the hybrid led halide T5 units are starting to show up, this is the cheapest way for me to dabble.
