Lmao... tony a 6 bulb fixture would of been good enough.. what fixture did you get.

 

[strgazr27]

Tony's corals in a few months lol

 

[strgazr27]

8 bulb ATI.... Tiny likes his corals like his steak.... Well done lol.

 

[jerl77]

He is to cook them for sure I told him lmfao

 

[Dace]

I have a 90 gallon, 48x18x24 and i'm ordering a ati powermodule 6 bulb fixture.. i wanted to order the 8 bulb fixture cause knowing me i would upgrade tank to a 48x22x36 soon. But i don't think it will fit in my apartment nicely.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Lmao... Im hoping everything does real well and hope that i upgrade to a bigger cube one day. Dace i went with the 8 bulb ati sunpower 8 x 24w. The fixture is 24" wide and 17" wide i think it will give me better coverage all around the tank

 

[strgazr27]

Coverage should be great, Especially when it's 20" above the tank to keep from cooking everything lol. Your carpet is gonna grow....

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Lol it will be fine. Even if i have to i can always throw in another blue plus or something. Id rather have better then to find out later that i need to purchase another unit and deal with some of the low ballers on here while trying to sell my other unit

 

[Tonyscoots84]
