    Check out Spectrapure, one of the best around and they usually have good prices.

    You can get a 120gal at a 48" length. My dentist has a custom tank that's 180 in 48" length. I have a semi custom 48.5" 113g.

    The light ships out on Sat.! $200 hoooot deal! I plan to do the bulb combo you suggested! How many hours should I leave the lights on a day? Do I need to cut back bc of there being more bulbs?

    10 hours per day for the dawn/dusk bulbs and 8 hours for the rest will work well. Most likely you will not to need to go below this. Let your coral tell you what they need by their color.

    Correct it should be just two of the bulbs.
