Hello all,
I just recently bought a 125 gallon all-glass tank. I have been running
freshwater fish for years and once again got my feet wet in sal****er. I am
planning to run this 125 for a reef tank. However, need the proper lighting to
make it all work. I don't want to spend $100's of dollars on lights from a pet
store when I can make something work just the same. Anyone out there know how
to make these fixtures they sell at local stores for $100? Couldn't I find and
create something from the local hardware store that would work for my lighting?
or where to get the proper lighting I need and not kill myself paying it all
off! Please let me know via email at

Thanks so much...

Jeffrey

Follow the 3-5 watt rule

3-5 Watts X 150 Gallons = 450 to 750 Watts
