Reefscape , your article is great, so being your within the knowledge for lighting for reef tanks, you might be able to solve my problem in drawing up a full lighting specs for my 240 gal (8'x2'x2') SPS tank. Im planning on a 4" to 4.5" DSB. Im looking towards 4x250 watt DE MH with I think eight T5 bulbs. Im not as yet lucky to draw up this plan with the help of others as yet. And I wish to be settled on what my lighting will or should be, before I order the new stand and canopy.
Also, I would need links down to the sockets, as well I like to have the best quality in equipment for the ballasts and icecaps, etc. I also learn that by having DE MH bulbs, I would require protective glass shielding for the reflectors, and please, I wish for the best in this lighting equipment. Im asking for the links to each equipment because im still new and learning about lighting for a SPS tank. Could/Can you assist me in this? Also, I will have a 125 gal tank for my new sump as well.
