    I'm using a Maxspect G2-170, and no the light doesn't reach the upper ends of the tank, it mainly covers the top middle then spreads to the bottom. :)

    Would you recommend upgrading to the 90 degree optic lens?

    The tank looks great, MarineHobbyist! :D Karma for you. :) I am setting up a 75. I love the minimalist aquascapes.

    I think you have 60* optics in the lights now? I would go with 90 or 120.

    Thanks for the Karma. :D

    I have the original lenses that come with the lights. I might order the 90 degree optics kit in a few weeks.

    I wish I could upgrade all the lights to CREE, but no budget yet for that :(
