I have a Finnex 30 Gallon M-Tank, 6 gallons is the sump/fuge and a 24 gallon display. My question is, is my DE 150w Pheonix bulb enough light to keep some SPS?
 
I have a 29 gallon with a 150 watt sunpod on it. I keep different types of sps in there with no problem. Most of them are higher up in the tank with good flow on them.
 
thanks raider, just making sure. i'm seeing all these people with 250w MH's over 29's and question if it is really necessary.
 
sps yes, acros, some will do fine, others won't show as good coloration as they would under 250s at the same level in the tank.
