    yep, also refered to as a 60 gallon std. it's deeper then a std. 55 gallon tank, this requires brighter lighting because of the depth- unless you plan to keep all your corals up half to top level- you will need more lighting. A 36 inch fixture would serve you much better. Plus the entire tank would be evenly lighted- so no issues on placement.

    Light spread is not that bad, with how o have my scape set up it seems fine. I just noticed one of the bulbs seemed dimmer so I figured it was time to replace.[​IMG]

    yeah that lighting looks fine.. what i would do is get on ebay and buy some single reflectors at least, that will make your fixture soooo much more pentrating..the run about 20$ a piece but are worth every bit of it.. and then get some ati bulbs and you will be set to grow lots of stuff even sps in the top of the tank..
