Re: [APD] Looking to get a new tank

[Jamie Johnson <Jamie_Johnson at gel.com>]

Len, only having < 150 g tanks, I can give only so much info. Sounds 
like you know what you're doing, but just looking for some lighting 
advice. Starting with 2.5-4 w/gal should do, or better yet check out 
these links and contact the authors for some info on their 150g setups. 
They also give some idea to the lighting they use:
