How would you go about lighting a wave front tank? One side is alot more skinny then the other. Anyone have any pics of a wave front reef?

good point, but there may not be much you can do about it. How thin are we talking about? for 90 gal. I'd go with macronut's advice and hang 2X175w or 2X250w - should be plenty, depending of course, on what you're keeping. How deep is the tank?
