    Need opinion I have found this for sale locally and was wondering what the thoughts were on this and also it is only 36" fixture. I have a 75 gallon that is 48". Would this work for my tank and is it a good deal for 300 bucks. He said he used it on a 48" 90 gallon and it worked fine. But I want some professional opinions from you guys and gals.

    Your only problem is it cant sit on your tank with the included legs being 36 inches. If you hang it will work. I have a 36 sunpod that sits on the sides of my 46 gallon bow.

    As your fixture does not have supplemental actinics I would get 14,000K Phoenix Bulbs. I have the 150 watt phoenix and it gives a beautiful realistic blue color. Hellolights.com told me about them
