Dasani Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 OK so I have changed my mind and instead of building a cube I am just going to get a 40B to save some cash. And lose the risk of breaking the tank. Anywho I had some questions about light. Would the fishneedit.com 36" 4x39w T5 light be enough for anything I want in the 40b? Such as High-light SPS and Clams. If not, what you reccomend? EDIT: Also how thick is the glass on a 40B? Link to comment
seabass Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'd try to find at least a 6x39W fixture. Link to comment
Dasani Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 what about the fishneedit 4ft 4x54w t5? That would hang off a bit... but thats the only cheap ones I can find. Link to comment

I mean, save up for a little while longer if you have to. But do it right the first time and you'll be happier. I'd go with at least this for a 40B. If you're serious about SPS and clams then I would consider this. Or maybe this (but it doesn't come with bulbs). Good luck! Link to comment
