Sorry for all the questions lately but I'm interested in setting up Metal Halide bulbs for my tank. Here's the problem I don't have any idea what bulbs are the best one's to choose. I also don't know how many watts I should have on my 72 gallon. I was going to set up a 250 MH and 2 100 MH's but I dont know if it's a good idea. Should I just set up one 400 MH? I'm really trying to find my way in the dark right now. So any help is appreciated.
