Rio Conversion

[Crazy fishes]

Just a quick question thrown to the masses..... I want to convert my Rio 180 to a marine setup and use power compact lighting. Would two 55w twin starters be sufficient lighting?? If so what could it support with regards corals. Would three be better?? or maybe too much.....?? (Each unit supplis 110 watts of light, so two would be 220 watts or three would be 330 watts. Obvious I know but included for quick reference)

Regards

depends what coral you planning to keep in there

if you can get three in there / afford them, it will give you a bit more to choose from coral wise, but 220W is enough to keep plenty of different species.

So 4 55watt PC tubes? How long, wide, and deep is this rio 180 (I really have to learn my UK tanks )?
