Best answer:

Answer by Ca la G
10,000 gallons? i don’t know, the biggest home aquarium i’ve ever seen is 800, and that’s HUGE. i imagine you should use about 100 250w coat halide. that should come out to be 2.5 watt per gallon. which is considered high light for any aquarium over 200 watts.

Question by dgksdlyfe: what is the best type of lighting for a saltwater reef aquarium?
I have a 45 gallon aquarium and i desire to make it a reef and desire to know what is the best lighting to use.. would it be fluorescent or metal halide or what?

Best answer:

Answer by Barry G
It all depends on what type of reef inhabitants you want to maintaining. If you are planning on keeping Hard corals then MH or VHO lighting or a combination of either of them and PC. MH=Metal HalidesVHO= Very High Output T5 florescent bulbsPC= Power Compact Without know what size tank or the typewrite of corals you want to keep it is hard to point you in the correct direction. If you want to gather your facts and email me that would be fine use subject line of fish fish fish barrygeller@yahoo.com I have been teaching saltwater and reefing for years and years about 35…. I hope that this was helpful
