OK, change in plans.
My brother has decided to move back to Georgia and he needs a bit help in the money department. (Moving from CA) Being the good brother I told him I will help him out. Money is tight with him being a single dad and all. Good news is I will get to see him more often as well as my nephew.
But anyways. My budget was really just about cut into a 1/4 of what it was so for now I need to come up with a little less aggressive approach to lighting.
I was wondering if a single 250w MH would cover the whole tank or maybe even 1 150W or should I be looking into getting 2 150w lights? I am still going to get some the good reflectors and lights but right now I can not cover the hole operation and I really don't want to put the project on hold.
It will be a FOWLR tank anyways with my current mushrooms and richordia and thats about it. I figured the worst that would happen is I would have to put my current stock in the middle of the tank under the light if it was good to go with 1 light. I would like to stick with the MH because ultimately I will be getting some more further down the road.
I honestly don't know the area of the tank the single light would cover. I obviously need light to fuel the LR and would like it to all be covered but don't know if 1 light will do the trick.
