    Hows everybody doing??? Just a quick question in regards to my 24 gal Aquapod. I am currently looking at two different sunpod mh lights for my tank. One is the 150 watt and the other is the 250 watt metal halide that will fit my tank. Is 250 watts two much for my 24 gal tank or will it benefit the corals that I will be adding later to it???? Any suggestions would help.... Thanks in advance....Bill....:)

    You could use the 250 and just place it higher up above your tank!

    Thanks

    Thanks for the advice guys. Yeah I think I will stick with the 150. That should be plenty for such a small tank.. I will post some pics when my cycle is over and I get the lighting in place....Bill... :)
