Metal halide light wattage?
im going to get a either 6 gallon or 10 gallon aquarium just for coral and anemones what wattage metal halide light would i need?
You can NOT do metal halide on a tank that small, even a 70 watt would fry everything . for a tank that small you need either T-5s or LEDS.
The ultraviolet light would burn any coral. Not to mention the heat given off from a metal halide would boil the water in a tank that small.
putting a glass lid on a tank will trap the heat in the tank and cause it to build even higher. You lower temperature or cool a tank by EVAPORATION. A glass lid will not allow evaporation to happen.
