36" lights over eurobraced 90 gal.?

jcono · 05/03/2012, 11:59 AM

Hello-

Trying to redesign my lights, Eurobraced, 90 gal., top opening is only about
41" wide X 12" front to back...

Anyone with a similar situation use a 36" lighting unit? I wonder would I have enough spread?

Thanks for any feedback,
Jan

It can work if you aquascape correctly. And I would hang the light a little higher to increase the spread. Get a high quality unit like an ATI so you get as much light as possible since your fixture will be high up and is a little small. 6 bulbs should be dandy.
