Hello all

[Rick C]

Hi everyone. My name is Rick. I am pretty new to the hobby, as well as BRS. I have an Eclipse 12 that has been going for several months but I want to upgrade my lighting. I really want to start getting corals and stuff. I'm thinking of the power compact 4 x 96w. If anyone has any suggestions for me or know where i can get the proper lighting, please let me know.

Thanks all and take care,

Rick

Wouldn't 4x96W PCs bee too long for an Eclipse 12? I think 96W PC bulbs are over 30" long

Steve, usually they are but Coralife makes a "quad" design that is 96 watts all together, not X4.

I get my stuff at the FIsh Nook in Acton but there are tons of places you can go!

I thought those bulbs alone were 17"?

You may find some good advice by posting your ? re. lighting for this tank in the Reef talk forum.
