Is there a Fixture that's 6 x 65 Watts???

[try2wryte]

question's self explanatory... I have a 95 gallon and a fixture that holds 4 straight pin 65 watt bulbs...but thats no really enough lighting for my tank...or is it
I only have fish and live rock now, but I might want other goodies later....will that lighting sustain an anemone if I choose to get one for my clowns? or plant life if I get some of those shaving brush plants??

get a 8x 54 watt T5HO

But I liked my little 65 watts power compact lights...lol I was hoping someone would tell me they know where or how to just put 4 higher wattage bulbs in it, but seems that's not an option

I havn't really seen any PC units with more than four bulbs. If you have a canopy I guess you can buy a retrofit with two bulbs.
IMO with a 90gal being a deeper tank, PCs aren't going to give you the flexibilty you'd like as far as what you can keep where. I second the T5 suggestion.

you could buy a current USA 2 x 65 retrofit and use that with the fixture you already have.

My LFS is suggesting MH because of the depth and my concern over whether or not to purchase an anemone...
But I've read 3-5 watts per gallon for plants and anemones, the PC fixture with 4 96 watt bulbs would suffice no?
Its gonna be a long time before I consider an anemone, so its not pressing, but I'd like to get the knowledge part out of the way right now

please do not use the watts per gallon rule. that many problems has so many problems. with lighting go with PAR and Lumen

why do you want to stay with PC..they are crap..color is awful, they dont penetrate to deep...and I wouldnt keep any anemone under PC lights unless you want it to look like crap

 

[try2wryte]

I don't like PC particularly, but I'm new and poor and thats what I got with the tank lol. I was just hoping there was an upgrade cheaper than buy a new fixture....
PAR and Lumen what's that or where do I go to learn about it???
