Nova Extreme Pro 72" on a 220 RR

I have the 48" pro on my 120 and like them. Does anyone have the 72" on a 220? I'm upgrading and considering the Pro for the bigger tank. Any recommendations, funds are tight;(

I'm looking at this light for my 180g. Not sure how that compares in dimensions to the 220, but I feel this is a good light and have read lots of good reviews.

Biggest recommendation out there is to swap out the stock bulbs for better bulbs.

I picked up a 220 its 72x24x30. Deep, but, Its only going to contain soft corals. Even so, is the 72 pro enough light?

From what I've been reading from other members, you should be fine. This light is very bright and with upgraded bulbs you shouldn't have any problems.
