After reading the following article http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/1/review1 I started to question what is the most efficient way to light a 6ft tank.

At present I have 3 X 250W MH which give me good coverage but I have seen many with 2 X 400W MH on the same length tank. It seems that you would get more over light but maybe not spread as evenly.

Any ideas?
