yote said:You can get the same light in 8x54 and probably wouldnt have to use any supplemental lighting.I have the 8 bulb light which give me a little over 9 watts per gallon.
does the 8x54 require you to remove the lights for tank access? i suppose it has the flaps in the front?
I was thinking something along the lines of the 4x54 across the back with a 24" in the front(left or right) over the light demanding corals and that would still give me access to the tank without moving lights and such.
hmmmm, the tank may look strange with extra lights on one side. I was hoping to get lights and a skimmer for $400 and add lights as an incremental step to a complete tank.
Thank you two for answering some probably common sense questions.
