Fitchguy Plankton Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 2 Karma: 3	Lighting in a 72" Canopy 4Xhalides I should be receiving my canopy for my 125 gallon this week and I was wondering if this is enough lights to keep whatever corals I want. I have 3X175 Watt MH(2 10K's & 1 20K) and I just got a 250watt PFO halide(I need to replace the bulb) with 2x22watt compact supplements built into it. So 4 Metal Halides all together, and I know that they should be mounted perpindicular with the tank with spider reflectors on the 175's. Please give me recommendations or opinions on how to set this up the best and also what Kelvin bulb I should get for the 250? Thanks
