Lite ???

[Captain]

Tank 36" L x 12" W x 24" T. 4" sand 75 lb LR. Looking for better lite system. This is 1st SW tank. 2 damsels doing well thru cycle, macro growing well. Would like some lite suggestions and corrals to start with. Have been reading everything I can. GARF.org has some great info. I can build, wire,
all DIY stuff just looking for help. Thanks

It all depends on what you would like to keep in the tank.If you would eventually like to put Acro's and/or Clams I would go with a Metal Halide VHO combo.If you just plan on some softies and all you can get away with just the VHO's.

Wiht only a 12" wide tank I would go with 4 bulb vho kit. It would be hard to have HVO and halides over that short of a distance unless you plan to have sps and clams then you will probably want halides sonner or latter but you can still start with vho and they will carry over to a vho halide setup if you should decide later to add halides.
