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.

Regards
Bhaskar

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 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.

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.
