Aquarium Lighting : Metal Halide
By bhaskarwankhede •
Dear All,
I'm in process of starting my 120 gal marine aquarium tank & I'm looking for lighting fixture for the same. I'm looking for 150 watt Metal Halide 10K or 14K bulbs. please let me know if these bulbs are available anywhere in Doha.

Hi good afternoon where can i buy blue light for my aquarium any suggest thank you
Yes I got the lights. I got them from AquaArt.
Hi
Did you managed to get the lighting ?
I am working on my reef tank, I still in my 2nd month
I am using 36W x 4 (mix of blue and white light)
but looks low for me
I am searching for some higher light
Thanks & good luck
I have tried to find LED lights but they are of 6500K only. not able to any decent high kelvin lighting as of now. Yesterday I went to Barwa they are lost when I ask about the higher kelvin lights. They dont have any type of higher kelvin light. No MH, No T5, No PLL, No LED. All they have is daylight lighting.
Do have your setup running. If yes than please PM me maybe I would need some help.
Its exactly same my setup and the same problem i faced the lighting
but i think u need 2 150w it will be good for ur aquarium
and why MH its produce too much heat go for LED im thinking of 4 30w led flood light high kalven but only what i find is 6500 kalven (day light) what do u thing of my idea
Its a glass aquarium with multiple partation for filtration & protein skimmer. I'm not going to use external filter (I have never used any external filter in any of my tank) so its going to have multiple partation. 1 for filtration, 1 for protien skimmer & 1 for refugium.
Why do you use a sump? Is it made with plexi glass to make a partition type of thing in the glass aquarium? Can't we buy DIY sump ready made from the shop? Sorry for my silly questions as I don't know much about aquariums.
Interesting .... All the best.
DIY
Build myself...
Is it DIY sump? or you are purchasing it from somewhere?
Thanks for the pointer. I will defenitly check with them.
Yes this is going to be reef tank if every thing went correct.
I have included 30 gal sump in the setup also.

Check in Building 6&8 at Barwa Village (Near Wakra). they have a lot of options there.
If you are planning right from the scratch, go for a bit bigger.
BTW, I hope you know that you only need MH lamps if you are planning for Corals & 120 Gal tank would be very small for them.
Aqua Art @ salwa road also have alot of equipments and advises as well.
All the best.
