Reef Brite Lumi Lites Question

Picaso · 01/26/2021, 09:43 PM

Hi Guys,
I'm getting back into the hobby after a 5 year hiatus.
So I'm going to set up a 150 gallon tank 72L x 18W
I want to get Reef Brite Lumi Lites.
Question is what length do I get the 72" or the 60"? (not sure if 72 will over hang or are they made to fit a 72)
I was going to do a set of 2 50/50 and 3 Actinic or is this overkill for 18" wide?

So far I have the stand/canopy, tank to be delivered in 4-6 weeks
Got a Platinum Trigger sump and Red Sea Skimmer.
Taking it slow so putting a lot of thought into each piece.

Thanks in advance.

I would go with the 60"
72" will not overhang but generally we leave room around the glass for cleaning & you would only be short 6"/side.
