Help me choose lighting

S

Seven

I can't make up my mind on the choice of MH..DE or SE for the 60g Cube(24 x 24 x 18). I'm getting a IC 250w ballast on phoenix 14k. I used Blueline SE400 watt on my 180 for years but now that I have down graded it seems harder for me to choose..lol. I want the LA3 mini pendants. Mainly will be keeping SPS. So Let try something new. Let's take a poll from now til the end of the month. Majority vote wins. :D SE or DE.
 
since you are going to use lumenarcs you could probably get away with using a mogul easier than with a lesser reflector. If you can afford the HQI I would go with it but IMO you'd be okay with the moguls.
 
on my 60 gallon cube i went hqi L3 mini as they are smaller

hqi L3 mini 13x12x7
mogul L3 mini 14.5x14x5x6.5
 
L3 mini SE 250. Almost infinite bulb choices also if you want to change.

The DE would be just using more juice and at only 18" deep you have more then enough light!
