photoperiod suggestion


looking into mh lighting... thinking a lumens reflector and either 150 or 250w 14k de bulb with actinic supps. keep in mind this is mainly a softy and lps tank, 24" tall. how long should i run the mh light if i get it?? for 150w and for 250w. was hoping if i got the 150w i could run it a little longer.

I'm not real qualified to answer since I don't have MH but I think most people run them on a shorter photoperiod
