3X250W HQI metal halides and actinic VHO or T5, not the cheapest but you won't regret doing that, especially if you are going do dump all that money into a 210g you might as well make it the best!! ------------- KP Properties LLC, Real Estate Investor. 12G Nano Chris, Provo |

| From personal experience, if you go cheap or affordable, you will eventually need to upgrade so I think you might as get the better equipment now. It will save you money in the long run. |

| My advice would be to check out other members tanks. It will become obvious why quality lighting is important for reef setups. |

This is what I have over my 6' tank. Not reasonable price, but I wont be wanting to upgrade in six months or in the future. (maybe)
