How much light
Hi, I am setting up a 125 gallon saltwater fish only tank (there will be some live rock as well). Can someone give me recommendations on lighting? How many watts per gallon?

Re: How much light
Can you give me any product recommendations? the tank is 60 inches long, I was considering 2, 24" 130w PC units. is that too much light for fish only?

Re: How much light
That should be fine for a fish only. You may want to check some of our sponsors here for lighting. The lites you are thinking about would be fine.

Re: How much light
OK, just to make sure, if i use 2 of the 130w lights, that give me 260w on a 125 gallon Fish only tank....... no worries?

Re: How much light
Heck yeah, that will be fine, but like I said, don't worry about the WPG, it really means nothing.
