150watt MH should be sufficient for a 3ft plastic guppy tub, whats your MH light temperature?

duration ah? follow the sun lor, 7am - 7pm..

2-4 3inch ranchu? ok la, just nice, should be tinted green in a week (not sure hows your feeding pattern like), distance between lamp and water raise to 12inch
