36" nova pros and tank stands oh my!

just wondering if 36" nova extreme pros would be overkill for a 40 gallon breeder?

also, if buying a stand for the 40g for $150 is more cost effective than diy. im not sure how much it would cost to diy =/

Nope,The Nova Pro won't be overkill.
Sorry,I never built a stand so I have no idea on cost.

Well,you don't have to buy the Pros.Breeders are shallow tanks,the regular 4 bulb Extreme would be okay,I still like the Pros better though.

Corals that need lots of light will grow better under the Pros.If SPS,clams and anemones interest you then get the Pro's.
