I have a Lumenbright Mini Wide Pendant over my 40 breeder. It's an excellent reflector and the wide version of it will provide for a better spread than the regular version for that size tank. It will also provide better coverage than the one you posted and also more par. If you combine this with a Galaxy ballast and a Radium bulb that would be a great setup in my opinion.

that looks like a great idea and not a bad price totaling around $350. Thanks for input. Definitely gonna look into that.
Is this the ballast you were talking about? http://www.aquacave.com/galaxy-250w-...pply-1186.html |
