i ran a 5.5 with a 150 14k mh for months.. still have it while im setting up my 20L... is not a big deal as long as you raise that light off the tank and your ambient room temp is decent... my room is mad cold (64 degrees) and the halide keeps the tank at 80.5 during the day and the heater keeps it at 79.8 at night...

you dont HAVE to get a bigger tank, its just a little bit of work to make the 175 work over a 6...

Unfortunately, The weather in my area is reaching as high as 105 degrees at the moment. I had to take off the flip cover on my tank and place a house fan over it to cool it down.


I would like to put the 175 MH to use but I just don't want to leave the top of tank open for kids to tamper with. Plus the light scatter.
