For Sale: 48" T-5 Tek Light, 8-bulb fixture

Could someone tell me if this would be adequate for a 40 gallon tank? I might be interested as long as it's not overkill. I only intend on keeping LPS and softies
 
Yes you are right. I keep thinking of the 45 Gal. Long which is 48" long. There is also a 33 gallon i was looking at that is 48" long.
 
They do make a 40 long, same foot print as a 55 just shorter, but you wouldn't have the depth (front to back) that the breeder would give you. Are you stuck on geting a 40, just get a 55 otherwise.

Did some measuring last night and a 40 gallon breeder is as big as I want to go(length-wise). I definitely do not want to lose the 18" depth that the 40 gives me either.

It looks like I will be in the market for 36" lights in the near future :-)
 
Well, now I will just have to bite the bullet and get new.
Reefgeek.com, here I come!
 
I know a guy selling a 6-bulb fixture if anyone would be interested...if he still has it, I'd need to check with him.
