I've been scheming to upgrade my lighting and wanted some feed back. Currently I have a 48" 55 gallon tank with 260 watts provided by PCs and I'm working on building a hood to house my upgraded lighting (yet to be decided). Most likely i will sell my current PC and DIY a combo of VHOs and MH.
My question is:
If I set up two 46.5" 110 VHOs will a single 175 watt MH placed in the center provide adequate coverage for the tank on a whole or would i be better off just running two 175 MHs, spaced well, and forgetting the VHOs?
Let me know what you all think and as always cost is an issue....
Thanks
