I just got a my first MH fixture, Odyssea HQI 175w (thanks catphish),
and ive got some questions. Catphish says that the bulb is 150W, but the Ballast is 175W...
1. Does that mean i need to buy a 150W or 175W bulb. And what is a good inexpensive bulb to start buying?
2. Moving into sps, whats the deal with 10,000k bulb? ive been told that the higher up it is the better the color for sps corals. Should i get a 14,000 to 20,000k bulb?
3. How high off the water should i hang the fixture?
remember my tank is a 24 gallon aquapod. 17" deep and 20" long
