Lighting 92G Corner Bowfront
I recently purchased a 92G bowfront and need to come up with a solution for lighting it. The tank will be a Reef, but I am unsure of the corals that I will be getting. I'd like to keep my options open and have been looking at Metal Halide / CF or T5HO Combo.
The lights will be approximatly 5-6" from the top of the LR and 24" from the top of th LS. Can anyone recommend wattage for the metal halide (single or dual?), CF or T5HO (# & wattage?)? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. thanks |

Did you DIY this or is it a fixture that you can buy? I'd like to just get a fixture and hang it from the ceiling. I don't really have the patience or tools for a DIY plus I really like the finished look...
