Think a single 360 Kessil will provide sufficient lighting for a 29G 30" Long?

I'm replacing my lighting and am a fan of the shimmer effect the Kessils provide. Anyone think a single 360W would provide sufficient lighting for my LPS/GBT?

Should be ok for what you plan on doing. I had a single 360 on my 40 and thought it was ok until the shadowing just drove me crazy. I added a second one with no regrets. If you don't have plans to upgrade any time soon then I would do 2 160's. Just a bit more cost than the single 360 and you will get way better coverage. Only reason I did 360's instead of the 160's is I plan on upgrading to a 200dd in the spring.

I also have a single 360 on my 40. Same shadow issue. I opted to add a two bulb t5 fixture instead of another 360. I may still ad an other 360 after the holidays.
