Lumenarc 3 mini's.

[JDigital]

I am looking at the Lumenarc III Mini reflectors (14.5"Lx14.5"W) for my new lighting on my 75G tank (48"Lx18"W)... would 2 reflectors provide adequate coverage over the length of my tank, or should I look at getting 3?

I have 3 on my 220 which is 6 feet long and they work great. Two should be lots of light for a 4 foot tank. Also with it only being 18 " deep you can have them higher off the tank so the light spreads wider.

My tank runs two of these exact units! My tank is also 48" long. works great!

Perfect news to my ears! Thanks

How high off the water are your units?

I keep my lights pretty low at about 6" off the top of the water, I don't like to much light spillage into the rest of the room.


I am very happy with the results.

Yeah two of these on a 75 will cover everybit of the tank, I had two on my 4x2x2 120g about 9" above the waterline and it covered everywhere. I now have one over my 75g 24x30x24 and still get great coverage.

Great... Thanks for the feedback guys!!

Rule of thumb is 2 square feet per reflector so your covered

Are the lumenarc mini's easy enough to mount to the top of a canopy?

Tks

Yes - there is a screw hole right in the centre that you just put a screw through to the surface you're mounting onto.
