Hexagon Lighting for reef

[ktran]

Hi,
I have a 45 gallon Hexagon tank, and just had a custom stand and canopy made for this tank. Unfortunately, I did not realized how difficult it is to obtain a 45 hex lighting fixture for a reef tank. My parameters are 10'' per side, and the with diagonal is 18''. Does anyone know of one type of lighting with more than 56x watts that will fit in this tank.
Thanks,
KT

use a hanging MH pendant.

I Agree with the hanging pendant or build your own. MH is the way to go from my understanding. Watch your heat and evap.

Yah, definitely get Metal Halides (MH)... I have them on my pentagon tank - sunpod 250w model - and they are working great... Plus you will be able to keep whatever you want down the road.

The Sunpod is only 20" - so you could hang it and it should serve its purpose well
