    sunpod light

    I have upgraded my lighting on my 55 gallon reef tank. I am now running a sunpod 2-250 watt 14000k with 18 LED lights (1/2 and 1/2 blue and white). Worried this is too much. I currently have anemones, soft bubble corals, clams, tube worms, frog spawn, brain coral, green star polyps. Am I ok with this lighting and if not can I run 150 or 175 watt on same ballast?
    Thanks for any help.

    Most corals can adapt to that lighting so you should be OK. And no, you can't run 150w or 175w metal halide lamps on 250w ballasts -- the lamps might explode.

    Thanks for the feed back. I jsut didn't want to harm what I have with a stronger light. The light made a wonderful difference as for the appearance of the tank.
