If it were me I wouldn't put MH on top of a tank dominated by polyps and ricordia. There is no need to spend the money for a Halide when NO and PC's will grow it. It's just a question of getting the right amount of wattage with the NO and PC. If I were you I would look at a few sites that sell T-5 setups, VHO setups, and PC setups. One of the best fixtures out there right now are the Coralife Aqualights. The other thing I would suggest is to buy a 175 MH bell pendant with a 14K bulb. What are the measurements of your tank? _________ http://www.3reef.com/uploads/reefmanMC.jpg&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.
