Lighting for 75

[hillbillyreefer]

I'm looking at setting up a 75 and was wondering if a fixture with
dual 150w 10k Orsam HQI an d Dual 30w Phillips 03 actinics would be enough. One day I would like to have clams.

That would be fine........

You would be able to keep any of the tridacnid clams.

Can we do this in English? Looking to set up a custom built hood and was planning on a full spectrum flourescent, a 50/50 and an actinics. I have a 40 gallon setup that has just had live rock introduced this week. Help?

Hi Hillbillyreefer. For a tank that deep I would prefer 250 watt. If your clams are on the sandbed you'll need the extra wattage to reach the bottom.

what is the price difference between the 150 and 250?

[hillbillyreefer]

Macro 48" 2*150w & 2*30w 03 actinic $494.91 @ www.championlighting.com

Aqualine spacelight 48" 2*250w & 2*24w pc
$789.99 @ www.reeffanatic.com
$849.00 @ www.inverts.com (Coral Reef Aquarium)

150w Aqualines Are $100 less

I've heard nothing but good about Aqualine. Anybody Know where I can get a better deal?

Don't know about Macro?

Rick O sweet tank!!!

Thanks. I have one bag of Pure Caribbean Aragonite left over from when I set up my prop tank. You can have it for $20. That's less than I paid for it by the time I paid shipping. Looks just like SD.
