Is it possible? I have read that more is always better but is there a limit
based on size of tank? The reason I ask is that I am deciding on either a 250w or 400w halide and the prices are comparable. I have a 36"x16"x17" 46 gallon. I'm building the canopy myself so that isn't an issue. TIA Kelly |

So if I went with the 400 should I build the canopy to have the light a
higher up to help on the heat or just build in some fans? "Richard Reynolds" wrote in message news:BY39c.14002$_U.1085@lakeread05...

Wouldn't you have to concider the types of corals you will keep for making
the right purchase ? some need low light, some need strong some inbetween. "Kelly" wrote in message news:3769c.17224$li5.2223@pd7tw3no... Thanks Richard, I'll have to gets some pics up when its done.
