    That size tank would be so much better with three metal halide lamps and 160w (6-ft) VHO lamps instead of 140w (5-ft) VHO lamps.

    However, the people who make the Spider-lite reflectors claim that you can cover a 72" long tank with only two metal halides. Your tank is 76" long??? What are the other dimensions--how wide and how tall?
