    Get a 4-bulb unit imo. Gives you much more flexibility down the road. You may start with soft coral, but an sps will catch your eye down the road.

    Yo, i dont know lol

    ive put up 4 bulb fixtures and they say it over heats to much !!
    put up 2 bulb and then im sent to 4 again...

    I really dont know... im thinking of getting the 4 bulb because everything is going to pver heat and partial to time the 2 bulb will also...

    Overheating isnt an issue because its well cooled and ill have fans so it can be cooled also..

    IMO, im going with..
    Amazon.com: Nova Extreme T5 HO Saltwater Aquarium Light Fixture - 24 in.: Pet Supplies

    Very happy with the reviews and cant wait to get it ! :D

    All fluorescent units get hot. I wouldn't worry about it though.
