Product Questions
Hi--I'm thinking about the Hamilton Bimini Sun hqi as a stand-alone light source for my tank ( L-24" x D-15" x H-20"). My question is which wattage? Intent is for a mixed reef (hardier SPS at all depths). I've had great experience with metal halide in the past, so I'm leaning towards this again.
The actual water depth is 18"; with the tank mounts, I think the Bimini Sun would sit about 6" - 8" above the water surface. I could always raise it, I guess.
What is your opinion on the best wattage for this tank? Would a 250w be too intense or too hot for this size tank (fairly cool climate here--only occasional hot days in dead of summer)? Or...is the 150w more than enough?
Thanks for your help,
Gordon

Great question!
We recommend the 150 watt over that size tank. This will keep less heat, enough light and better look. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
