SKIMMER KING's 36x36x21 CUBE

[sphelps]

Hard to believe someone would build a tank that small from 5/8" glass, I never understand why people sacrifice clarify for no reason I also never understand how people scratch straphire so easy, did you use sandpaper to clean it?

Any who... have you considered the GHL Mitras? One fixture would light the tank and while it's not the cheapest neither is the Vertex which is on your list.

sounds like a good build mikey buddy

def do one mitras, a bit expensive but worth every penny, im going 2 mitras on my sps tank

Sorry its not 5/8 its a little bigger then 1/2" and mo steve i didnt use sand paper ha ha uou are so funny actually my site was t good after getting jumped by 5 guys who pretty much left me for dead when i first got in so my clarity is pretty much out the door. So starfire and standard glass is pretty much even to me. Anywho lol the mitras is alot of money bit i dont know if tjat would cover my tank. Steve what is the spread on thise lights from uour tank.

I really have no idea what you're saying most of the time but don't worry I still like you. I went with three fixtures on my tank, it's 64" x 32" footprint. Would have used two but decided since it's full SPS and 32" tall, three would be better. One fixture will cover 36"x36" easily but for full SPS, two would be better. I only suggested it because you had the vertex 260 on your list which is close to $1900 while one mitra is $1100 so it seemed like another option worth considering, not quite as much power but better spread and color which I think is worth some sacrifice.

Sorry man i have been trying to type with my iphone and i have big fingers and thumbs lol

Ok i think i have it narrowed done to 2 lights when i start this cube up

The mitras x 1

Or

The vega's x 2

[lastlight]

nice dimensions mike. not that i've seen either light but if the mitras has significantly less disco effect / colour banding i'd go that route personally.
