    In preparation for my next tank, I have been doing a lot of looking around for a light setup and I was wondering if the more experienced folks out there could put their 2cents in :) The lights will be for a 72G Oceanic bowfront, that is just at 48 inches across. The fixture that is catching my eye right now is the 48" 6x54 Sunlight supply Tek. The price is right in my budget since i have to buy the lights separately, but reading around it sounds like that might not be a bad thing. Anyone have any experience with this fixture or thoughts about it? If it is a good fixture, any suggestions on the light bulb set up/brands to use? BTW I was hopping to make this a reef tank.

    Cheers!

    Not as great as having individual reflectors, but still a very nice fixture.
