lighting choice for 40 breeder, ATI's configurations...

[dotc0m]

Should I go with a 4 bulb 36 inch fixture? a 6 bulb 24 inch fixture?

Obviously I could do 36 x 6 bulb fixture.

Currently I'm running 24'' x 4 bulb fixture but I'd like to upgrade to either the 36'' 4 bulb or 24'' 6 bulb.

I'm pending a purchase on a 24'' 6 bulb.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Most of my rockwork is in the middle, especially the higher end lighting required corals. This way I also won't get much film algae on the side glass and on the MP10s I run currently with my 24'' x 4 bulb

Thanks again

I ran a 6 bulb 36" current nova extreme. It was prettty good, but I decided to get LED's. I had a piece of SPS that had bleached and died, but I kept it in the tank in the back, and it grew back under the 6 bulb T5's. I ran 4 ATI blue +, a KZ Fiji Purple, and a GE 10K. The color was nice. you can check out some pics in my tank thread link below
