Opinion On Lighting Frag Tank
 
I have a 40 gallon breeder connected to my system that I use for a frag tank. Currently I have one 175 watt MH Helios 20K over it and was curious if you think it would be enough light? Mostly SPS from my main tank that is why I went with the 20k Helios. I do have another 175 MH light that I could put over it as well but two 175 watt MH bulbs over a 40 gallon breeder sounded excessive. Whatcha think??

I got a 250watt HQI phoenix on PFO HQI ballast over my frag tank in a lumenmax 3 reflector and it is just right for SPS's. Has a nice blue tint without the need for actinic. I love it and might switch my display tank over to this lighting. I get great growth too.
