First I must tell you all that it's been a while since I was in the market for any aquarium lighting and I could use a little help. I used to have a 55 reef w/ power compacts. I really didn't keep hard corals, just mostly shrooms. I took it down about 4 years ago and haven't relly done anything since. I have a hex ( I know, I know, it isn't the best design but it was cheap). I've had it up for about a year with about 40lbs of live rock, live sand, 3 clowns and a red head goby. I only had a compact on it with no corals. That light is now shot and I have to replace it.
Now for the main question. My son is really starting to take an interest in the tank now and I want to get a bunch of shrooms and maybe some polyps. I was looking at a clamp on MH from JBJ but don't know whether to look into to 70w or 150w. Any hel[ would be graetly appreciated. The tank is about 30" deep.
