    I have a 75 gallon (48.5" x 18.5" x 21.2") i was thinking of getting 2 value fixtures but really would like programmable ones. I need to keep the price around $400. Would a Photon 24'' give me the coverage i need to grow everything i could possible want, or should i stick with 2 value fixtures?

    I have a 50 gallon acrylic tank 36x15x20. I'm thinking of switching to LED's. I don't want to build a fixture. What would you recomend? Currently have 36 inch compact flourescent bulbs, one 10K and one 50/50, both 65 watts.

    The Photon24 with 90s would work well.
