I hope to have some soft coral and an anenome. I know that the anenome will have the biggest demand for light. I was thinking to go with either 2X175W or 2X250W Metal halides in either 10K or 20K. Which color and wattage you guys and girls think will work best for me without generating too much heat. I would also like to leave room for some other corals in the future. the tank is 48X14X22. Will I need to have supplimental lighting and if so what do you suggest. Thanks again guys _________ 72 gal bowfront with Megaflow. Coralife superskimmer.
