I know I could rig up something but I think it would look ghetto compared to some nice sleek glossy pendants with reflectors inside. I don't want company to see some jerry rigged tank in my office.

I don't think the DE style is out yet but I think they are in the works. I will call CoralVue tomorrow and see for you DE guy. I would like to see What kind of light output a DE setup would produce.

It is being shown as -
Large LumenBright - 20 x 20 x 9 - mine actually measures 8.5 tall
----these are definitely 20x20
mini LumenBright - 16 x 16 x 7 - not sure what the actual measurement is - maybe it is 6.5 - can someone measure.
----these are definitely 16x16

What are you saying, IRIS?
Do you have 19.5" in the canopy lengthwise to fill? What size tank?

I think I understand what everyone is stating here, so now I'm looking for a little advise. 120 gal AGA 48x24x24. Would like to keep SPS and some LPS. If I understand correctly I should use 2 LB large with 12K Reeflux bulbs and mount the reflectors about 16" from bottom of bulb to top of water. What type of ballast is recommended? Did I miss anything?

I dunno, looking at those pictures I think it looks horrible as just a reflector. I'm thinking furniture grade looks, not DIY grade. I'd want them black to match the stand and office. If I had a canopy then it would be fine but I like the hung pendant look.

I think you will be perfectly happy with 3 minis which will cover almost the width of your tank at 16". I think 3 Large lumenbrights would be overkill on your tank.
I have 2 large on a 5ft and it is 24" deep and I am bleeding some light out the front or back.
3 minis will be fine.

Are you saying use the Large LB's or Mini for a 120g guys? Mike suggested the mini's for my tank (120g 48x24x24) when I spoke to him last night. The outside dimension of my canopy is 18". I think (will measure tonight) that the Lum minis bottom reflector is roughly 8-9" off the water. Give or take. I have them secured to a 1/2" piece of oak that spans the center of the canopy and is attached to the top/lid if you will.

Go with the Minis. You will waste light with the larges. I have a 180 72x24x24 with three minis and is lit up extreemly well.
