I'm setting up a 155 Gallon Bowfront reef and I'm having a hard time deciding on what lighting fixture to use.
The canopy comes with the tank, but is big enough that using a retrofit kit is a little impractical. I have an Aqualight Pro on one of my smaller reefs and I'm very happy with it, but one of those would too wide to fit inside the canopy; it would only leave me with 2" of width to use for feeding and maintenance. I don't need a ton of light, but the Aqualight Advanced (the only slimmer fixture I've seen) with only 450watt of HQI might be a little low. Does anyone know of any relatively slim fixtures that would work for this tank. It's 72" Long and the width from the back of the tank to the start of the bow is 17".
