Light recommendation for my frag tank please

I need to buy a light for my new frag tank. The tank is small, about 15-20 gallons and is 22" wide.

I was thinking about getting a hanging pendant light, since the tank is so small. Has anyone used a light like this?

I don't want to buy the wrong light. Do I need MH? What wattage? Could I use T-5's? Please advise.

 

1000 watt HPS for vegetation and 1000 watt MH for flowering

 

lol

 

if you plan on growing sps and want fast groth i would go with a 250 watt metal halide and the lumen brighti reflector
b-rad is making me a 48inx24in frag tank and i am going to use 2 250 watt lumatek ballasts and 2 of the large lumen bright reflectors with it but i plan on growing only sps frags in it if your going for softies and lps i would get a 6 bulb 24in t5 setup

 

250watts may be a little overkill. I would go with a 150watt. Lol wrong grow system waverz.

 

Huh?  /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/confused.gif

 

Some people get it, some people don't.

 

i think the lumenarcs provide better light coverage than the lumenbrights... IMHO

a 250 would be a good .. if you want 2- I know some guys who had a 10K (or even a 65K Saki) on one side for growth, and a 20K on the other side for coloration once the frags grew out more.

 

HAHA

 

awsome Jeremy, thanks!
