    Hey! It's been I while since I've been on, mostly due to school, I had a question regarding metal halides, I was wanting to bump my ten gallon reef up to a 20 long, I just got a MH from a friend... Would 70 watts be enough for a 20 gallon reef? I mostly do zoos and shrooms but I want to get into lps woul this setup work for them? Thanks!

    I think a 70 watt halide would work great, even though I wasn't aware that they made a wattage so small. Heating might be a little of a problem but, halides are the way to go, your choices coral and invertebrate wise expand so much when using one. Go for it!!! whats the kelvin rating for the bulb.
