Default Lighting over 36"x18" tank

65 gallon tank, 36" x 18" and 24" tall would look little weird...
But maybe I should get the tall one... I have some thinking to do


I have this 65g tank (in fact, it's in its second week of cycling now)
and doesn't look "weird" to me. I've got 80# of substrate (40# live
rock, 40# aragonite) which gave me a bed between 2 and 4" deep and 90#
of live rock which fills about 1/2 the height in the tank the way I have
it stacked.

I also have the lighting assembly you're looking at buying from DrF&S
and that works well. But as Wayne mentioned the center brace covers part
of the MH. If you go with this light forget using the feet that come
with it and just use the hanging system that's included. Otherwise
you'll have to lift that damn heavy a$$ thing off the tank just to feed
your fish.
