I have the Constellation from Aquactinics... 14 bulbs... 7 rows of 36" bulbs...I love it! Individual reflectors, built-in fans... getting great growth and... no heat!

Oh by the way, check out their forum on here in the sponsers... my tank is an inwall, so I was able to get a perfectly good working fixture that has a little dent for half the price they normally go for... just a thought...

I have a retrofit 3 x 80watt that are 60" on my110g that is 72"
They work great for my corals. I staggered the lights and there are really no major light shortages. I got the lights from reefgeek and have been pleased with their help. |

I was debating 2 x 36'' but i ended up getting 60'' for my 72'' tank, because the bulb price would be practically half since the price difference between 36'' and 60'' are so minimal. I have a total of 9 bulbs with icecap 660 ballast. I originally planed to stagger them but decided not to. As picky as I am i can hardly tell that the sides are dimmer.

I have 3x60" and 4x48" with IC660. I will pry end up changind it to 6x60" which to me is perfect.

I also have a 660 icecap ballast, but I only have 3 x 80watt 60". Can I add another 60" light onto the ballast?

I run 6 x 60" powered by 2 Ice Cap 660 on my 180. I run them centered.
