Lighting my 72 gallon bow-front tank (48" wide)

Yea that can be a pain but if they havnt shipped yet you can change your order right?

I think if you have a little overhang you would be alright when i got my 6 bulb it was bigger than i thought it would have been.

actually the brand i ordered only has a 4... or 8 bulb fixture. so i think i'll stick w/ the 4 bulb one. they're T5 HOs, so i think that'll be fine for now. i don't want to overheat my tank (nor do i want to buy a chiller), and i plan to only have an anemone and that's it for now (in terms of what needs lighting), so 4 bulbs should be sufficient. yeah? it's 48 3/8" L x 18" W x 23" H. anyway, i'm sure if i called to update/change my order today or tomorrow they'd let me. cause it'd probably only be to upgrade it ;)
