Lighting Options

[L14MDP]

So I have this tank being set-up and it will want to have a cover over it and so I am limited to lighting options.

I was thinking maybe two or three 120cm GHL Lightbar 3's would work using the flat brackets accessory; resting on the brace locations as shown. Do you think this would work and is sensible? Tank width and depth is around 58cm and length is around 150cm.

I don't think I could fit them to a canopy as the canopy would have to have a way to hinge back to get access to the tank for maintenance etc. Also I would need a way to introduce new fish and so I was thinking I would dim/turn off lights and push them back to fit bags in to float.

I’d reccomend 3 bars.
I say this not to spend money but my first issue is GHL doesn’t list the overall spread but does list that the light bar 3 has 90 degree lenses. Sitting close to the water, it’s a relatively narrow spread. That said they do have the SLB mounts that would raise it but I don’t think those will work with your set up.

That’s just my opinion though.
