125g 6' long

if they are 48" generally 2'x2' = 120g

I have a 125g tall. It's 60"*18"*26". It's a nice sized tank, but it has been difficult trying to decide on what lights to get to punch thru 26" of water. Can't afford the electric bill for a pair of 400 watt halides, and 250's might not be enough PAR for the bottom. We'll see.
