Need a quick answer as I have a deal pending for tomorrow for a set of Coralife 2x 150W /w 2x 96W PC and LED fixture.

My question is, is 2x 150W powerful enough for a 21" keep 75G tank? (48")

It's not going to be a calms or SPS dominate tank, nor planning to keep any calms.

Thanks!

That's not a bad light. I was looking at it myself but went with the light you see on my signature. One reason I went with this one is because I don't need actinic lamps due to the kelvin rating of the MHs. Only two bulbs to replace and the cost of the bulbs are reasonable to my pocketbook.

I would consider the amount of bulbs in the current unit you're looking at just as a consideration when replacement time comes.

Good luck!

Chief
