    Outer Orbit Pro with 2-150 mh and 4 T-5's from my 72. will also add another 24" to light the whole tank evenly unless I can find a good deal on a 72" fixture.

    The picture in the post I just put a 30 watt freshwater light i had laying around. The outer orbit is still on my 72 untill I move all livestock over.

    I was thinking if I added a 2nd 24" light I could simulate a sunset sunrise, effect by having them turn on and off at diffrent times.
