I would think that with the 4 T5's all you would need would be 150's or 175's.

Sounds like a good plan to me. The only problem you'll run in to is with acans or other corals that don't like a ton of light. Just make sure you have some shaded areas and you should be good.]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:11:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397832&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397832 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397827&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397827 Author: Roy

They are perfect for that type of tank. Are you going to supplement them with T5, PC or LED?]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:39:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397803&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397803 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397802&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397802 Author: boysty

I run 250's on my 90g and they work great. I have seen people do 150s-175watters as well and they worked pretty good. ]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:39:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397802&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397802 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397798&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397798 Author: Spbeyond

Hey guys, I am gunna get some retro's for a 90 gallon tank. Do you think 2x 250 watt retro's are enough, or to much?]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:36:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46478&PID=397798&title=metal-halides-for-90-gallon#397798
