boom1000 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Getting a new tank. A 120. Its 48x24x24. Was wondering if anybody here has any experience with these. I have the money for either one, but if 8 is overkill I would rather go with 6. Thank you for your time. Link to comment
spectra Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What are you going to stock it with? If only minimal SPS you could probably get away with a 6 bulb. Link to comment
Markburns43 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Buy the 8, you never know what you might decide from now, bulbs can be removed:) Link to comment
Eisernes Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I would get the 8 and if you end up not needing all 8 you could always just run 6 of them. Then if your needs change in the future you will have room to grow. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Definitely an 8. As above poster said, you can take bulbs out of an 8 but can't add to a 6 Link to comment
boom1000 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 8 it is. I am mostly into softies and LPS corals. I think they look more appealing moving with the water. On the other hand, I want to be able to put anything I want in there. If you guys dont mind me asking your opinion on a couple other things.... I was thinking about getting a MaxSpect Gyre XF150 power head and the EV-240 Protein Skimmer with the mag 18 drive pump. Link to comment
spectra Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ok after looking at the dimensions go with 8 as stated you can run 6 but I think you will run all 8 in the end I am looking for another ATI but the 8 bulb is to wide for the tank I am trying to cover..... Link to comment
boom1000 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 They got some 4 bulbs. Lenghs from 24"-60". marinedepot has a few. Link to comment
