This one, correct?

 

yep thats the one

 

i have those lights on my 72 and i love them, they say the bulbs are no good but we have to replace them in a year anyway, i say get the 6x54 setup as well you will like it...they run quiet and cool....

 

I would say it really depends on how much light you want in the tank. That is a pretty good fixture for the money. It does not perform as well as the Powermodules, but then again it is around 1/3 the price.

So what corals do you want to keep.
