Re: Lighting Question

i would use the nova extreme pro that i linked to because it has two more bulbs and it has independent reflectors which would give you the same PAR outage as having 12 bulbs

Re: Lighting Question

I've only got a 26 gallon tank! Won't my fishes and corals get a sunburn? Do I need moonlights? They sound like they would be cool to have. Thanks, Catherine

I like the integrated moon lights but I do want to get enough light for the tank.

Re: Lighting Question

if the only reason you wanted that was because it had moonlights then there is no need to be mad, you can by moonlight fixtures

Re: Lighting Question

ok, how do you put a light and fixtures on top of a little tank? Shouldn't it all be one unit? Thanks for your help on this!

Re: Lighting Question

the light fixture will come with mounting legs so it can sit on the rim of the tank
