    I meant to put the "or greater" sign(<) on the MH's and add T6 can you do that Jason? Also put in HO or VHO man I screwed that one up...too many choices for lights!

    I used to have halides over my 180 but now I use T5's. On other tanks I have metal halides, still others T5's, and on freshwater planted tanks I use PC's.
