36" lighting advice

[AriMiko43]

I came across this light on ebay and wonder what you all think of it? Is it worth it for a 65 Gallon 36 wide tank?

if your tank has a center brace like most 65's, you're going to have an annoying shadow in the middle of the tank due to that fixture having only 1 mh

I would do either 2 halides + supplements or an all T5 fixture (6 bulb) for a more economical choice.

is it an odesea? bc i got one for my 120g 48in long and i read online that people were having trouble with them and noone liked them, i bought it anyway on ebay... no problems till i had to change the bulbs, the wiring inside started falling apart and the conectors on the end of the socket fell apart and the mh bulb kept falling out.. but i agree abt the center brace causind an anoying shadow... hope this helped..
