tank temp question

Motomatt86 · Sep 1, 2008

hey im looking at buying a aqua-light pro with 3 250watt hqi and 4 pcs for my 210 gallon. will i have an issue with the tank getting too hot? i really dont want to add a chiller but i thought id ask peoples opinions and experience with hqi lights and heat.

also would i be ok with 150 watt hqi or is the tank too deep. i just have basic coral right now but i want the ability to have much more in the future...so is it worth it to go up to 250 wall hqis?

I would go with the 250's. I had the 150 aqua pro on my 220gal till I could upgrade. I know have 2-250 watts and 1-400 se mh and 2 165 watt vhos. I have never really had any heat issues since I have a fan that blows across the top of my tank. If the fan isnt doing a good job I turn on the central air.
With the price of lights you only want to buy them once.
