I will be setting up a 72 gal bow front. I want to install mh lights strong enough for clams. I can not hang these lights from the ceiling, and from what others have said they will not fit on the tank. Any suggestions.
thanks

I have a 72g bowfront with halides. They fit fine. What brand of fixture are you using? The legs invert so it fits. Tight but it fits.

Corallife. What Brand Do You Have?
Thanks

its not a coralife but similar..cheaper version..did your tank come with legs?? if so can you invert them when you attach them to fixture. If you can it should fit ok. there may also be a generic type of leg kit available that may work as well. My light on my tank fits pretty good but you have to watch the temp on the tank. its 2x250w + 4 65w actinics..gets pretty warm. If you need a pic of how mine is set up, let me know. I will e-mail one to you.
