Thanks guys. I cant believe how fast you replied. I was thinking I had to go with a 250w
mh light. It didnt occur to me that they made 75w pendants. I am very concerned about energy usage, and 75w I'm ok with. Is a protein
skimmer necessary on this size tank if I'm going to put corals in it? I actually bought one, and never used it because the maxijet 1200 pump it came with seemed too strong for my small tank. I do water changes twice a week on Sunday and on Wednesday ,15% of the total water volume.
thanks again
