prada Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Like the title says. I can buy with cash or trade. I still have the single 400w MH system, sea swirl and my 250w PFO dual ballast. Let me know, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COReefer Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 what size tank you trying to put it on???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prada Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 90gal. 48"x18"x24". Why? Would that be an overkill? Currently, I have 2x 250w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COReefer Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 honestly, I'm starting to think that my dual 400's are overkill on my 150. I was frying corals for a while up top so I stuck a piece of glass just under the bulbs and reflectors(not all the way across) and it seems to have helped a lot but I would be careful. I would go with some killer reflectors and some nice bulbs but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpunk Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm running dual 400's with 4 VHO's also on my 75g and it is a little overkill but most of the corals like it a lot. The only things that really don't like it are my chalices. I have to find shadows for them. My SPS is loving life though so I guess it depends on what you want to house. My lights sit really close to the water too so it would be less intence further from the water. If I had it to do over I would go 400's again for sure. most of my softies have aclimated to it well also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It won't be overkill. I wish I had dual 400w again over my 90g. the dual 250w hqi's are nice for sure but I like real colorful sps and alot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm much happier with 400w over my 85 Gallon (24" deep). In 3 weeks I've seen most of the corals perk up and I only run them about half the time. A few of the corals were not happy at first but most of them are recuperating with even better color than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
