Lighting a 45x22x28 custom tank

galkito · 08/08/2014, 04:02 AM

hello guys,

I am curious if an ATI sunpower 6x39w would be ok to light my tank.
The tank is 45" length 22" width and 28" deep. I have a lot of SPS and LPS. Currently I am using LEDs.

that shouldn't be a problem at all

I was told that I should get the 8x39w due the sps.. I am a bit confused

an 8 bulb would be too wide for a 22" wide tank.

My buddy has a 6x80 on a 180 and its more than eneough front to back. 6x39 would be a perfect fit.

This is exactly what I believe also. 8x39w would be an overkill for 22" wide
