I used a Mag 3 on my 24 tall x 4 in dia reactor. Building a rectangular one right now, 24x8x6 and I'll probably use the Mag 3 again (cuz I have it).

You know I did think of that but I'm having to do this on a bit of a budget, sudden expenses and all. I was thinking of 2 HO actinics off a WH7 would be sufficient for actinic on this tank.
