I need some help please. I have a 90g reef tank with fish only. How much lighting do I need? Would 130 watts be enough?
Thanks.

130 watts of what? For what do you want to keep?

as its a fish only, that is plenty of light. The lighting is there for your pleasure. You mat want to think about creating a dusk and dawn effect with some low light actinics and have them on a timer switch....

The fish themselves dont need the light...

Thanks, I do have the light on a timer. It is on for 11 hoursa day and off for the rest of the time.
