    MH or VHO?

    20 gallon long tank

    I want to keep a few sps, and some star polyps and clams

    was thinking 4 55w 24" VHO's powered by fulman workhorse 7 or ill just get a 250w MH thing is i dont want to drill anything in my wall to hold up the MH, maybe a arch over my tank would be cool.

    I would go with 1-175 w MH , as it would still give you plenty of light . maybe put a couple actinics on there also .... I have a 250w MH on my 35hex and everything is doing fine ...... good luck

    I'm not sure I would go with a 250w metal halide over a 20-gal tank. How about using a single 150w 10,000K HQI DE metal halide fixture?
