I will be acquiring an established 150 gallon acrylic reef ready tank complete with refugium. lights and stand over the 4th of July weekend. The lighting consits of 5 PC's and 1 250W 10K MH light. It has about 100LBs or more of live rock covered with large blue mushrooms. The sand bed is 2" or more deep. Will include 1 - green carpet anenome, 1 - large Clark's clown fish, 1- fake clown, 1 - large yellow tang, and 1 - large fox face rabbit fish. There is another large fish we can't identify. The tank has really been neglected and will need a lot of work to get cleaned up. I plan to put the fish and some live rock in a friends 55 to hold them over the weekend.
We will need to refinish the stand and build a hood for the light system. The tanks is 6ft long, 2ft wide, we think it is 3ft deep.
Here is my question:
How many MH 250 should I use on this set up? I will keeping stonys, other LPS and softies along with fish.
