I am purchasing MH's for the first time. I have a few questions about some lights I've picked. Could you guys please answer a few questions for me?
Ballast: MH ballasts 2x: 250W Advance (M58)
Bulbs: MH Bulb 2x: 250W 20,000K XM
1 3 inch fan
1. Will 20k bulbs look good and provide the right light to allow giant clams and sps to thrive?
2. Would 175 watt 10k's and VHO supplementation work better?
3. Will one 3.5 inch fan be enought to manage the heat of these lights?
4. What benefits or detriments would there be to using 6500K or 10000 k bulbs?
