    Spider Light Refletors

    Spider Light claims you only need 2 MH a 6ft tank with their Spider Light Reflectors. Any one doing this and have any comments and or recomendations?

    Thats what I have done. I have a 125 aga . I like the look but I can see the shadow from the center brace. In my case a third MH would look better I think. Sorry the pic is so big.

    Hmmmm......I didn't realize that the AGA tanks had a wide center brace as with the OCEANIC(s).

    Most 250watt 10000K MH(s) lamps have a coverage of 2' x 2' x 2', also depending on distance from the waterline. Therefore a 6' long tank would need at the least 3 lamps.

    On a 125 aga tank there are 2 small plastic braces. It divides the tank into thirds. I agree 3 mh would look better .
