so just out of curiosity which would be better for my tank i m mainly a fowlr but starting to collect some sps and soft coral
i have both kinds of lighting!
8 T12 VHO 110w Actinic, blue 454, two other white lights i'm not sure what they are,OR
184 led lighting blue, purple, white total 200w

120 Gal
40 gal sump
canopy with open back w/two fans blowing in over the water
asm g4 skimmer
Rena filstar xp xl formerly the xp4 cannister
140 lbs. live rock
2-3 in crushed coral and argonite bed
a 300w heater and a 250w heater in sump (Differnt sides)
two via aqua 3600 return pumps from sump to Dt
unfortunitly overstocked due to some bad advise from lfs and my bad no research guess i fell into the newbie catigory
3 false clownfish
2 dominoe damsels
1 fuji blue devil damsel
1 coral beauty angel
1 royal gramma
1 7" blue hippo tang
1 4.5" blue jaw trigger
1 texedo urchin
2 pink urchins
1 peppermint shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
1 brittle star fish
1 10" T. Maxima
1 3" T. Crocea
1 toadstool leather
1 neon green candy cane coral
I know i know but this is my first tank i now know you are not suppose to put predetory fish in a communal tank but all the occupants seem to be getting along just fine a few territorial disputes mainly from the dominow damsels toward each other! so back to my question which of the two lights would work best for my tank? Any other comments would be duelly noted thanx and have a great day
