I'm in the process of setting up my 180 gallon marineland tank and I need some help when it comes to the lighting. As I finish up hard plumbing my system, I've been looking at all the different options and have gotten a headache.
MY GOAL is to have a beautiful reef tank (like everyone else). I would like to put easy corals like zoas, mushrooms, etc. starting out, but a few months down the road I'd like to add hammers, torches, frogspawns and maybe a few others.
Id like to stick with leds, but I'm concerned what is the best for my situations. Are watts as important as par? How many watts per gallon do I need? Etc.
I have a the Current Orbit that I used for a FOWLR, but I'm thinking it may not be enough to grow the hard corals.
