Hi Guaiac_boy,

I also have a 180 gal project in the pipeline, however I am probably a few months away before it gets off the ground. I have done research in the areas of lighting and filtration etc for a 180 so I will be interested to see how things work out for you.

With respect to lighting, I was thinking of going with 3 150watt HQI's which gives 2.5watt per gal. What are peoples thoughts on this? I think it will be ok providing I don't go for any plants which have high light requirements.

Good luck and keep us posted with your developments.

Mark.
