New tank planning - phase one lighting

[Anonymous]

Wife have given me the OK to put an in wall tank. So I am thinking a 60 long x 30 wide x 26 deep. First questions is can I cover the 60 x 30 with two MH fixtures. I would like to stick with only two if possible. I am thinking the Luminarc would do the trick.

One of my tank is 60 inch, and two MHs are fine, FWIW.

What are the details on the lighting system, if you don't mind sharing.

Two 400 W MH, remote ballast, Spider refractor (take two bulbs). I think there is a pic of a half-finish canopy in DIY forum.

If your doing in the wall you might consider a solar tube as well. You could put in the wall as you do the build out.

Just a thought

Not in my case. My daughter bedroom is directly over where the tank will be.
